Guardhouse and Garage in a Recreational Estate / ARQUITECTURA-G
Briefly

The article discusses a recently designed building on an agricultural property that serves a dual purpose: a garage for vehicle storage and a residence for the caretaker. This construction replaces a collapsed structure, adhering to regulations by retaining certain design elements like footprint and roof material. The architecture cleverly merges a garage and a single-story home under a unified roof, utilizing a self-supporting shell to maximize space. Characteristic design features connect it to surrounding estate buildings, ensuring cohesion in aesthetic and structural language while providing functional space.
The project showcases a striking balance between functionality and aesthetics, providing both vehicle storage and caretaker residency while adhering to architectural coherence with existing estate structures.
By optimizing the predetermined volume into a dual-purpose building, the architects cleverly utilized structural elements to ensure both open space for the garage and interaction with the residence.
