Breaking the limits of what is possible

Casa V8, designed by Racma Arquitectos, stands as an example of architecture that prioritizes the human experience, merging functionality and aesthetics to meet the demands of a daring client. This project presents a significant challenge: its location, with a west-east orientation and an abrupt slope of 1.2 meters, places it between party walls, which required creative solutions to stand out in the environment.

From the beginning, the focus was to break with the anonymity of the space. The layout of the surrounding houses, whose face is located 5 meters behind the boundary of the land, was used to design a large screen wall perpendicular to the front, which not only provides privacy, but also an unobstructed view. This design also allows for a generous height of 3.60  meters in the common area, creating a bright and airy environment.

The organization of the space was key, orienting all the rooms, common and service areas to the south, which guarantees panoramic views and an abundance of natural light. To maximize the connection with the environment, a roof garden with service areas was incorporated, facilitating the use of the space and taking advantage of the unique views offered by the location.

The final result is a signature house that manages to captivate its inhabitants, merging design, functionality and a deep respect for the environment. Casa V8 is established, as well as a benchmark of innovation in contemporary architecture, demonstrating that it is possible to create spaces that really speak to the people who inhabit them.
