The CR House embraces the principles of Biophilic Design
The design incorporates three bedrooms with walk-in closets and bathrooms, separate study areas, ample social space, a service apartment, a garage, and storage areas. Embracing the principles of Biophilic Design, the design team at Vélez Valencia Arquitectos establishes a direct dialogue between the environment and the house, increasing comfort, and enhancing the overall quality of the space. Sustainability is a key focus, with cross-ventilation strategies reducing the need for air conditioning and a rainwater harvesting system ensuring responsible consumption of natural resources, serving both bathroom use and garden irrigation.
