13. Townhouses at Puerto Piritu
Puerto Piritu is a well know tourist area located in
the state of Anzoategui in Venezuela. Due to exceptional
geographical conditions like beautiful beaches
and lagoons. This region is characterized by sparse
vegetation contrasting with large beach areas that
are visited mainly by local tourists.
I chose to develop a hotel based on small townhouses
for rent. These townhouses have a common
parking area and swimming pool, but each unit has
a private outdoor area and garden.
The location of the site is very close to the best
beaches in the area. It is also located at the main
street for shopping. This concept of townhouses for
rent during holiday season is very popular in the
area. There are no services rooms within the townhouses
because the cleaning and laundry is commonly
outsourced.

The units are freestanding townhouses with 3
bedrooms. The social area consists of a living room,
a dining room and an outdoor terrace. To ventilate
and illuminate the units, we I implemented courtyards
that separate the social areas from the private ones
and also function as ventilation for the bathrooms
and kitchen.
The structure is very simple, the walls are stone
and self-supporting brick. The structure is a frame of
beams and columns made of steel, while the roof is
made of prefabricated aluminum sheets finished on
both faces with an insulating foam interior.
They were arranged together in a way to improve
ventilation for common areas and to enjoy the
sea view. This disposition also achieved free corners
and enhanced the privacy of the outdoor terraces.
