This project

comes from the

needs of an

Orchid Grower.

He needed a

house that could

be private house

and a workshop

(where he grows

and sells

Orchids) at the

same time.

The principal

house- workshop’s

facade is located in

front of a big public

square; the

opposite one has a

view to other

buildings. Another

side is adjacent to a

house-workshop

which belongs to an

illusionist and the

opposite side of

that, faces some

teachers’

residences.

This house-workshop has one cultivation area, a selling area and an exhibition area; these three areas are located in the first and second floor.

In the area where the orchid grower lives, there is one principal room, one guest room and each one has it own bathroom. It also has a guest bathroom, a kitchen, a laundry-room, a studio and a big living room that has a view to the orchid garden.

The cultivation area has three storage-rooms for the fertilizers and other things. It also has one office with a bathroom, one cultivation area and a selling area.
