Two Townhouses in Brotherhood by alsoCAN architects
Two Townhouses is an architectural project of alsoCANarchitects. The houses are placed in Richmond, an inner city area that was abandoned by families for the space of the suburbs.
But families return to the city and choose to share a two houses plan and using the surrounding parks for their outdoor space. The interior becomes the focus of the house and it is treated like a façade, by using solid stone walls and timber bed heads wrapping up the wall to the ceiling. One of the houses has light natural shapes of brown, neutral tones of colors and limestone. The other house enjoys dark and warm tones, in combination with blue shapes of the walls and ceiling. The indoors is huge and full of natural light, but there are also many spot lights on the walls, waves of light leaking down the walls, increasing luminosity and serenity of the houses.
Vast spaces everywhere, wide living rooms, prolonged by well equipped kitchens, cozy places for relaxation and elegant furniture, modern paintings, matching in colors the rest of the house, modern TV sets and a red tiled plunge pool, so the reflection of the water and red tiles glow into the living room, increasing luminosity, all of these are details that define the brotherhood of these two houses.
