HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Our approach to the project has a particular and sensitive focus around the sensory perception of the unity of life. In the process of its composition, we remember the emotion and experience conveyed by the painting «San Girolamo nello studio» by Antonello de Messina. This work reflects the value and role of furniture in recreating an atmosphere and the comfort of a space; when we contemplate it, we see San Jerónimo in a stone and colossal building: however, he appears to be in a home study, he is very comfortable writing. We guess this is due to the presence of wooden furniture, which is responsible for balancing the scale to provide shelter and warmth for human activity. This can also be seen in Louis Kahn’s Fisher House, in this case, the structure of the facade and the wooden furniture complement each other and agree to transcribe this atmosphere in the place. Our living unit transcribes this reflection in its spatial quality, the space has a stone coating given by the concrete whose living dynamics is defined by the furniture and wood finishes. A calm, welcoming and serene atmosphere for an elderly person.
