Casa Tres Patis by Twobo
Casa Tres Patis is a house located in Albons, Spain, designed by Twobo, envisioned in 2024. The architecture pays tribute to classic villa distribution with enclosing walls, three interiors patios, and a concrete structure. The pavilions are linked more to air than matter, expressed in diaphanous elements such as ceramic lattices, glass, steel and wood. Together they frame a joyous interior space enabling a rich and sheltered experience of life.
A Tribute To The Classics
An enclosing wall, a patio open to the sky and rooms around it are three elements with which the Greek and the Roman villas of Empuries were built. Located in Albons, a town in the same area, this house wants to pay tribute to this classic distribution.
Private Spaces To Enjoy The View
Two roughly plastered opposing walls encircle the entire plot, protecting it from the strong north winds and from prying eyes; however, they are positioned in a way that allows the people inside to enjoy the view, enjoy the shelter and enjoy the disposition of the interior space.
The Essence Of Being Alive
Three patios to reproduce a villa. The first is the lively town square, covered by the shade of a tree. The second, a lively pond of water (reminiscent of an impluvium) surrounded by vegetation. The third comes in the shape of a lively garden with aromatic plants the kind you would find in a monastery. These elements (the walls, the patios and their disposition) frame a joyous interior space enabling a rich and sheltered experience of life that is further reinforced with the contrast of the material (concrete) meant to speak of the persistence that we can sometimes feel in the presence of ruins from a time before us.
Three Independent Pavilions
The rooms are distributed around the patios and are grouped in three independent pavilions, light and permeable to the world outside. It is an architecture with a nomadic spirit, linked to the mobility of living things. The essence of being alive opposes the concrete patios with a built based on air more than matter. An assembly of diaphanous elements: ceramic lattices, glass, steel and wood give shape to breezes, shadows, light, naps and laughter.
