Casa Zelena is a residential project conceived as part of a real estate development, where a series of strategic design decisions seek to distinguish the house from conventional market offerings while enhancing the quality of life of its future occupants.
The project is organized through a linear layout accompanied by a parallel courtyard, allowing the residence to turn inward and avoid unwanted views from neighboring properties. This configuration directs all visual connections toward the interior landscape, creating a controlled and private living environment.
The spatial arrangement establishes a constant relationship with the courtyard, integrating vegetation as an active component of everyday life. All spaces benefit from cross ventilation, improving thermal comfort and reducing dependence on mechanical cooling systems.
Within the social area, the ceiling height increases to create a greater sense of openness and reinforce the importance of this shared space within the overall composition.
Casa Zelena proposes an efficient and carefully composed architecture, where privacy, visual control, and environmental comfort define the experience of living.
