The improvement in the conditions of confort, energy efficiency and the need for spatial expansion and general change in aesthetics, are at the base of this project of reform and expansion of an existing single-family house in Loma Verde (Albolote, Granada, Spain).

The building is an isolated house built in series in an urbanization of the periphery of the city made in the 80s, with little compositional and architectural interest. The construction, moreover, was surrounded by a messy garden that drowned the space of the house.

The reform aimed to create clearer, more open and more proportionate spaces. These premises were the starting point proposed by the developer that sought a greater identification of housing with their way of life and their current functional needs.

For this, and with the conditioning of an important budgetary limitation, the intervention in the thermal envelope was proposed by means of the placement of a skin (ETICS type) that has improved the energetic behavior of the house while eliminating traditionalist aesthetic references of the original housing, creating a minimalist, rational and contemporary imprint that was the  promoter's purpose.

The renovation of the functional level housing has led on the ground floor a large diaphanous space for daytime connected with the kitchen, porch, patio and pool, while the bedrooms, dressing rooms and private bathrooms are in the first floor.

The choice of materials, the study of costs and reflection in terms of durability, functionality and efficiency, has resulted in a simple, functional, contemporary and energy efficient housing.
