Harmonious interaction between the architecture of Niu Houses and Poolins swimming pools. This careful integration generates an environment where every detail, from the finishes of the house to the specific design of the pools, coexists in a perfect symbiosis.
The NIU Houses project was created with the aim of innovating housing construction systems, seeking to increase precision in the materialization of architecture and, in this way, improve the quality of human environments, making them more sustainable and healthy.
In NIU’s systematized architecture, each N290 is the same and at the same time different from all the others. The adaptation of the model to the site makes them unique. Its insertion into the topography, on a slope in this case, generates an access staircase that becomes a project in itself. The house saves and circumvents the imposing pine trees that characterize the house. The configuration of the house is made around a central courtyard, which reminds us of an impluvium. Four pieces with the same morphology, open on the long sides and closed on the short sides, are radially intertwined generating four outdoor spaces with different characters that together with our Poolins pools make an elegant and timeless combination.
An outdoor space for the day area, another one for the kitchen, an outdoor space related to the bedrooms and another one that functions as a pedestrian entrance area. The interior spaces of the house extend to the exterior, with exactly the same dimension, like a sort of carpet that gives continuity to the spatial sequence. In this way the habitable volume is enlarged and only the shade and the air conditioning will tell us whether we are inside or outside. The building envelope is materialized by a piece of extruded aluminum, the metallic sheen of the aluminum helps to integrate the house that acquires the shades of the garden, its appearance is modified during the day depending on the temperature of the light. We are fascinated by this sensation when we implement each house with this system, the result is simultaneously identical and unique, like our Poolins swimming pools.
