Mop House: A Vision of Future-Proof Residential Design

AGi architects' Award-Winning Design Balances Privacy and Intimacy

The Mop House was originally planned to house one family with two small children. However, the architects at AGi designed it with the future in mind. The structure of the house, the distribution of circulation, and the positioning of entrances and lifts allow for the house to be divided into two units. This ensures guaranteed privacy between parents and children in the future.

One of the unique features of the Mop House is its dual access points. The site can be accessed from either side of the surrounding streets, allowing for both a private and a public entrance. This design choice not only enhances the functionality of the residence but also establishes a strong relationship with the adjacent public garden, seamlessly blending the private and public spaces.

AGi architects, a team led by Nasser Abulhasan and Joaquín Pérez-Goicoechea, have managed to create a design that is both innovative and practical. The team's attention to detail and forward-thinking approach is evident in every aspect of the Mop House, from its unique layout to its ability to adapt to the needs of its inhabitants.

The Mop House's innovative design has not gone unnoticed in the world of architecture. In 2013, it was awarded the Platinum A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award. This prestigious accolade recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs that showcase unmatched professionalism and contribute to societal wellbeing.

The Mop House is more than just a private residence. It is a symbol of innovative residential design that balances privacy and intimacy, and a testament to AGi architects' vision and expertise. As the world of architecture continues to evolve, designs like the Mop House will undoubtedly continue to inspire and influence future generations of architects.
