For some time, residential architecture has not been limited simply to creating a place to live, but also to providing a quality of life for its occupants, which often includes a space where nature can be present. The connection between the home and nature are increasingly important, in addition to the necessity of having a green space, like a private patio. This is the topic of the present book: urban housing projects, which have an indoor patio that becomes its own little oasis.
Hace ya tiempo que los edificios son cada vez ms ecolgicos: La naturaleza tiene cada vez mayor protagonismo en la nueva construccin, aunque no slo en jardines y patios, si no en las mismas paredes, tejados y cubiertas. Hoy en da la arquitectura se basa en adaptar las viviendas a su entorno. La construccin no se impone al paisaje: se funde con l a todos los niveles posibles. Presentamos una seleccin de proyectos tanto en entorno urbano como rural, cuya caracterstica principal es incluir un jardn vertical, una cubierta ajardinada o ambas cosas a la vez.

The construction of three new penthouses on top of an existing residential building in a very densely populated neighbourhood of Copenhagen led to the creation of this roof terrace. The beauty of this design lies in the fact that the construction of three new penthouses led to the exploration of ways to make best use of a rooftop with thee aim of improving life quality of habitants in a densely populated city.
A este edificio residencial de un populoso barrio de Conpenhague se aadieron tres nuevos ticos, lo que propici la creacin de esta terraza en el tejado. Al construir estos ticos y buscar otras formas de uso del tejado, se cre este bello oasis. Un espacio exterior que permite a los habitantes del inmueble aislarse de la poblada ciudad y mejorar su calidad de vida.

The garden is designed as a functional space.
This is reflected in a playground with shock ab-
sorbing surfaces, a green hill, a lookout platform,
an outdoor kitchen, and a wood deck.
Esta rea exterior es multifuncional y prctica,
como se puede ver por el pavimento especial de
la zona de juegos, la colina verde, la plataforma
mirador, la cocina exterior y la tarima de madera.

The building is terraced allowing each storey to have visual and physical connection with a landscaped area. This creates a layer effect that reduces the scale of the building. The green roofs on each floor are edged with louver canopies that extend over the floor immediately below to providing shade.
En este edificio todas las plantas tienen terraza sobre la planta inferior. As, todos los pisos del inmueble tienen conexin fsica y visual con el entorno y crea un efecto capa que reduce el impacto visual de la casa. Las cubiertas de las plantas se extienden con un toldo hecho de lamas que permiten sombrear la terraza de la planta inferior.

An inner courtyard on the garage level provides
the two lower floors with light and ventilation.
Conceptually, it anchors the house to the site
and makes for an impressive house entry.
Un patio interior a la altura del garaje proporciona
luz y ventilacin a las dos plantas inferiores.
Conceptualmente, ancla la vivienda en el entorno
y da mucha fuerza a la entrada de la casa.
