Casa Bosque by Grizzo Studio

Casa Bosque is a project designed by Grizzo Studio. The plot on which the project was to be built was a portion of the garden of an old house located in the residential neighborhood of Martínez, San Isidro, a neighborhood characterized by an abundant presence of vegetation. Nature was, without a doubt, the host of the place, we wanted to be able to maintain the feeling of being inside that leafy garden on which we began to project, this was our premise when designing, enhancing the play of light and shadow proposed by the treetops that surround it.

Peach Court by Wittman Estes

Peach Court is a project designed by Wittman Estes. New homeowners of a historic 1910 Craftsman-style home sought to transform their 2,491-square-foot house by updating it for contemporary living, while adding a rental facility to the property (ADU – Accessory Dwelling Unit). The owners, a young couple, often host gatherings and have an affinity for nature. Seattle, like many cities, faces a housing shortage. Most housing in neighborhoods such as Capitol Hill are single-family homes, built in a time with less need for density. As Seattle has grown, the city has been confronted with the dilemma of how to preserve the historic fabric of neighborhoods while continuing to adapt to allow for increased housing density.

A generous roof cantilever that not only offers shelter from the intense sun of Cadiz, but also protects from the copious rains that descend from the Sierra de Grazalema, the place with the highest rainfall in the Iberian Peninsula.
