Feliu House is a Bioclimatic single-family house project designed by Marta Jarabo as part of the experimental Un Chalet program. A model of sustainable, collaborative self-construction organized around a central courtyard and skylights that maximize natural light and cross ventilation. The project serves as a prototype for the EDRO system, a prefabricated, circular structure with real-time digital control (IoT) that enables a reversible construction process with low environmental impact.
Feliu House is a semi-detached house of 129m2 for a young couple and their three children.
The house is structured around an interior patio that allows not only to improve its bioclimatic functioning, but also to generate a new interior fagade to order the rooms around it, proposing a new distribution model for the typical spanish semi- detached house, always compressed and with a poor inside-out connection due to the half-buried garage.
On the ground floor, there is the kitchen, the dining room forming an L-shaped space around the interior patio and open to the rear garden.
On the first floor are the bedrooms. It is conceived as a pine wood cabin, given the limited space, the cabinets become the very delimiters of the rooms.
Children’s rooms can be interconnected with folding panels to create different degrees of privacy throughout their lives.
The bathrooms on the first floor have skylights to have natural lighting.
The skylight in the children’s bathroom (photo) also serves to illuminate the corridor, in such a way that there is no area of the house without natural lighting, something that does not usually happen in this type of home. The sinks are integrated into the hallway to speed up use by three people.
