“An Inner Landscape: Inhabiting the Worlds of Being”

The project for the Private Family Club is conceived as a vertical, continuous organism—an inner landscape that unfolds through different levels connected by light, matter, and life.

The building’s volumetric complexity—with floors at varying heights, double-height spaces, and interwoven relationships—becomes the starting point for constructing a Raumplan architecture, in which programs are not arranged on flat levels but within three-dimensionally interrelated volumes, as proposed by Adolf Loos.

In this inhabitable topography, light is the true structuring material. Inspired by Patxi Mangado’s skylights in Vitoria or by the sequence of luminous voids in b720’s Simon Showroom, light enters through the roof and passes through all the layers of the building, connecting the world of children with that of adults, the everyday with the transcendent.

Light thus becomes an emotional and spatial backbone, descending into the depths and modulating atmospheres and densities.

The project is organized according to a tectonic and stereotomic reading—an architecture that moves from lightness and openness toward mass and silence—establishing a parallel with the existential worlds of the human being: dreaming, living, thinking, exercising, and sleeping.

Each level embodies a state, a condition, a way of inhabiting.
