Main Hall.-
In the house there were two different environments, the first called "Androceo" atmosphere for men and a second
environment called "Gineceo" for women. This space distribution and the custom of separating these two
environments was brought from America by the conquistador. The furniture is rococo style like the arcones,
bargueo, chairs, armchairs and tables, the most interesting is the bargueo with altarpiece decoration (some of
these acquired by the Bank).
Second Salon or Damas.-
It receives this name because there were performed the Spanish dances such as the so-called
"cuadrilla" or "cauca", it also has a handicraft ceiling with large and colorful windows, covered
with curtains and murals of tiles.
Artesian Well.-
This well, which at one time supplied water to the building;
the water that was drawn from these wells were filled in jars
that served as filters to distill it.
Corridor and Annex.-
This corridor communicates to the second patio with the first
one, through which the servants and horses penetrate inwards
and the carriage remains in the calesera.
The Oratory.-
It was nothing but a niche with repetitive and constant details in
mural painting that could be considered as a wallpapered
background.
The Zaguan.-
It was a place of public access, where visitors were expected to be taken care of. To the left side we find
the door of access to the old oratory and to the right side the calesera where the carriage was kept.
BUILDING
The house Ganoza is constructed of adobe and quincha with roofs and wooden porticos
that receive roofs, quincha and tortabarro. The adobe sections of the house are
relatively narrow; in some cases only have 0.80m and in another 0.60m which is
insufficient for the height reached by the rooms, especially the main rooms and block.
In the back wall of the block, in the collapsed part has been
verified the existence of 11 birds of carob wood in the form of
H What indicates a concern for repair. In this wall also the
footprints of the cubicle of the portico of the wall can be
noticed; as is customary in Trujillo's architecture, the coffered
ceilings are the "mother beams" joists and vijeretllas
receiving entablamiento above, The corbels appear to be s.
XVIII or early nineteenth century, doors and windows of the
nineteenth century, the bars of the main hall on the porch of
the patio are the only ones that are preserved and belong by
their style. XIX.
STYLE OF THE HOUSE
According to the style in Trujillo there are two types of houses: La Virreynal, which followed
the Mannerist and Baroque styles. It is the Republican House, which follows the Neoclassical
style, which did not have a fixed rule, is how they can be differentiated, which is axial, ie
retains an imaginary axis, what is on one side is on the other, seeking symmetry.
In this manor house you can distinguish and observe the quality of the architecture of this
beautiful mansion, whose facade has several stages: in the eighteenth century until the
sotabancos and in the eighteenth century rises to the fierce that is baroque crowned turn by a
pediment that is Rococo style of the last third of the eighteenth century, considered
contemporary or who knows built by Captain Carlos Silva Flores.
As you can see this facade is an obvious example of how the house had undergone a series of
evolutions in each era, each style has been leaving the best of their experiences, on the lintel of
the wooden gate to two leaves we clearly see a mural painting in which appears San Miguel
with his sword in the inferior part the demon's tail, original decoration of century XVIII that had
previously been covered by the shield of the family Cavero that is eliminated by effect of
restoration to save the original element.
The window that is observed in the outside, is of forged iron with a base of peaa, in whose top
part we find the Napoleonic influence. In the canopy, empire style in the connoys another
house with equal element is the house Martinez de Pinillos.
ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS
ORIENTATION
Based on the dimensions of the smallest Based on the height of the biggest difference, there is the
environment for the square, we can see the module, which along with its segmentations covers the
repetition of these in each and every space of this house.
environment
Based on the baroque balcony, we find a series of repetitions of proportions in the facade,
especially in the porticos and coronation.
The ratio of filled and empty is 4: 1 (for every 4 filled there is a void)
FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
The courtyards are the organizing spaces, where in the surroundings are
accommodated the succession of social, service and private spaces.
VOLUMETRIC ANALYSIS
They are semi-regular cubes united by contact in their totality, we have spaces that have a
cubic form in the same way. The mass is not as prominent as the void (yards)
CONCLUTION
With the present work we demonstrate that from the pre-Hispanic period, the
Mochicas-Chimusya had high knowledge about environmental conditioning
manifested in their homes, where they controlled the ventilation and sunning of
them.
In the colonial period, the Trujillo houses were the reflection of the character and the
noble life that identified this city until the beginning of the 20th century.
Following the Andalusian influence, the Trujillan mansions are arranged around two
or three internal courtyards plus a hallway.
There were not many monuments of public character besides the temples and
convents, emphasizing the Cabildo and Prison, Seminary School and the Hospital
Bethlehem.
The sober facades of their houses and churches contrast with the ostentatious of its
interior, predominating the Renaissance orders and, to a lesser degree, the Baroque,
emphasizing the house Ganosa Chopitea that takes to another level its good
handling with its polychrome facade, being considered as one of the most important
of Colonial America.
