Privacy and calm in the heart of the city

Terraced single-storey house with 87 m² built area, arranged around a 40 m² central courtyard and accompanied by a second independent building, distributed over two floors of 25 m² each, which naturally expands the possibilities for use and reconfiguration of the property.

The main dwelling offers a typology that is increasingly hard to find: a house laid out entirely on one level, comfortable for everyday living, with no stairs or leftover spaces, and with a 7.5-metre façade width that results in well-proportioned rooms, far from the narrow, elongated layout typical of many houses in the area.

The interior is organised around a spacious 30 m² living-dining room with a wood-burning stove, conceived as the core of the home and directly connected to the courtyard via a gallery that visually extends the space outdoors. The layout is completed by a separate, functional, small kitchen, a full bathroom of approximately 8 m², and four bedrooms—two exterior doubles and two interior singles. From the courtyard itself, an external staircase leads to a 20 m² raised terrace, open and at roof level, providing additional outdoor space.

One of the property’s most distinctive aspects is precisely the relationship between its different volumes. The central courtyard, square and sunny, serves not only as an outdoor area but as a true meeting point and link between the buildings. The main house and the two independent rooms located on the other side converge on this shared space, each maintaining its autonomy without being isolated or turning its back on the others. The living room opens onto the courtyard through the gallery and, opposite it, the two floors of the auxiliary building face the same central core, creating an unusual layout: several distinct spaces that retain privacy while maintaining a direct and constant connection with one another.

The home is habitable in its current condition, although it has not been updated and offers scope to adapt and rethink the spaces to suit the needs of the buyer. In this regard, the second independent building is especially relevant: its two 25 m² floors make it easy to create self-contained rooms with their own bathroom—such as a studio, professional area, independent bedrooms or guest space—and free up area in the main dwelling. This would allow, for example, integrating the current interior bedrooms into an extension of the living-dining room, creating a larger open kitchen, or completely reorganising the interior layout to prioritise more generous day areas.
