ACCORD
Accord is a Live-Work Patio House located in Barcelona, Spain. The site is on a steep 45 degree slope on the side of Montjuic hill.
The Patio House style required a large, central private patio attached to a residence, protected from the work program.
In addition to the individual requirements of this studio, a large collaborative portion of the project was negotiated between four groups of five-six students, as well as all 23 students together. This involved the physical division of the hill into four sites, as well as negotiating among the smaller groups to divide those sites into individual properties.
Following this, a formal typology was negotiated amongst group members to create a cohesive community rather than a clustering of 23 distinct Architectural projects.
