Seasonless House

Casos de Casas’ Seasonsless House – a house in Vinaroz without exterior, made of undulating tiles and plastic – is a device that creates a personal climate, individual to each inhabitant.

The Seasonless House, built in Vinaroz (Castellón ) by Casos de Casas, considers its own environment, domestic, adaptable and resilient for all seasons of the year, turning it into a device that creates a personal climate, individual to each inhabitant. A house without exterior, as everything external is able to take place inside.

This is enlarged by taking it not only to the design of a personal climate though the different elemental systems of appropriation of air, light or radiation extensions; but also to the domestic, public, and intimate habits of the house in relation to all the agents that occupy it on a temporal basis with greater or lesser intensity.

The house builds a large playground from the strong slope of the land, a place from which to observe and include the house landscape, without being clearly observed from the street.

It is in this playground where a more indeterminate and polifunctional way to live with the landscape is provided.

Activities do not have a specific location in which to develop but rather, according to the local aspects, views, climate and privacy, they enable the project to develop as a landscape of variable domestic events that respond to desire, need or optimisation.

The top floor on two different heights covers the playground connecting it with the most private activities. Reality surpasses both in one continuous and limitless environment. Eating happens upstairs and sleeping on the sofa. Reading takes place in the backyard and one can shower at the front of the building.

The seasonless house is also a house without a place, a Mediterranean styled device. White, efficient for climate and solar radiation reasons is also efficient as a singular element of the roaming nature of its inhabitant. Its execution: a standardised and modulated construction system, personalised for specific needs in this house.

Built from the inside out, with double walls made from cellular polycarbonate, simple filters of undulated polycarbonate, interlocked metallic tiles, different glasses according to the contiguity of the climate on either of its sides.
