Reclaiming architecture.
ARCHITECTURE FOR ALL - CASA NARANJOS

I read recently that "architecture is a component to produce significant changes in society," when before relevant changes of a society became evident in its architecture.
Today the architect has the task not only to capture in his work the moment the society to which it belongs, lives but also has the daunting task of correcting what the pseudo-professionals have made people believe that is the architecture. Now the architects have to react to architecture, a "reactionary architecture" to seek changes or improvements needed in society. To better understand this we can think about the architecture of social interest or rather in the construction of social housing where examples of what NOT to do are skin deep. Reaction architects has finally given, as shown by the latest installment of the Pritzker Prize for Arq. Alejandro Aravena who has put all his efforts in dignifying housing architecture of the pyramidal base.
However the bad ways to build (for I can not say, to make architecture) transcend and permeate all levels. Such is the case of housing for middle class in its new version titled by developers as HOUSE SALE, a phenomenon that has decided to position itself in the crosshairs of the user or "buyer" making its unbeatable setting the gated community. So, a group of people outside the profession and more to the craft of being an architect has developed the new housing concept called HOUSE SALE and probably unwittingly have released people an "architectural style" where actually all that matters is that "the business out." In the same way as a real estate developer punctuated in a conversation a few years ago, he said, "it is that in this CASA SALE actually cares ?. Everything is summarized: I put a studio or I put another recamarita ". At that time there were clear two things, first: that the caller was a mercenary and not a businessman, an ignorant for whom the only thing that counted was "pasta", the second: it was necessary to show that while housing middle class has changed and loose grounds before have been reduced to 6 or 8 m wide by 15 or 18 background not so design and comfort were excluded and reserved only for the next level of housing.
This is where the concept of COMFORT HOUSE (titled later as NARANJOS) take the necessary impetus to show that architecture is for everyone. It is not the first year, and before we had designed CASAS LA JACARANDA however the investor could not empathize completely with the idea that represented the design of this house, however good things were allowed to see on that project and were learned.

The concept of NARANJOS house is on comfort.
 COMFORT. Definition: Material conditions that provide welfare or comfort. English loan this French comfort and conforter 'strengthen, consolidate'. In English the term has come to designate a moral and material sense fitness and, by metonymy, the material conditions that allow you to enjoy this state.

Is then considered to achieve a comfortable design should start by giving satisfactory solution to material conditions pertaining to basic and ordinary topics, it is in the simplicity of things lies the genuine solution of the problems.

1. Work? Actually most of the times "HOMES FOR SALE" spaces do not work, the operating diagram is only a myth and anthropometry dies in the first step. The reason? I guess the lack of desire to do things leaning against the ignorance of how to project and no longer mention creativity. But first we get a house with a program of specific needs, in a specific place, with a real and specific conditions, work best. No customer, we know, but we can imagine living those spaces, dawning in the main reading room or in the room at sunset.

2. Optimize space. They say that "everything fits in a small jar knowingly accommodate" Indeed, the program needs a project can be organized optimally knowing how to manage space.
• Where are the stairs in a house for sale average interest?
• R = in front of the facade of the ground floor and charged to the right or left.
• Where the master bedroom is located in a house for sale average interest?
• R = floor and in front of the space obligatorily destined to garage.
These and other questions are submitted designers and architects of home sales and the sales we are increasingly facing a new project and yes, these are the answers that are always made.
No one can repeat again and again the same action expecting a different reaction, so we reorganize our ideas and reorganize the spaces that make the house design taking into consideration the maximum use of space (understood in m2) in connection with the arrangement and interaction between spaces (understanding their use and destination)

3. THE TRUE LUXURY IS IN SPACE, R.L.V. O yes, who you have not seen these words come true at times when we visited not only works of famous architects but of those professionals committed to the architectural practice architects. More ornament the walls that need light on your skin? ... Not a marble Iris Green does not come good in the hall, but what if the media does not allow such luxuries ?, then what? no luxury for a home without the media? Yes, of course there is the luxury and handling of space, light, texture and shape. The management of these elements results in an atmosphere full of comfort and plastic richness.


The above 3 points are what give support for project development HOUSE NARANJOS that has the mission to reclaim the concept SALE HOUSE showing that regardless of the level of housing that work, there are always options for architecture.
