The site features a gentle southern slope and a pine grove that must be preserved. Consequently, the house is positioned along the northern boundary to maximize southern exposure. However, since the quality of a house increases with its spatial richness, simply facing south is insufficient. Therefore, the volume folds to enclose a northern courtyard, establishing a sense of transverse transparency.
The layout is compact. The ground floor houses the living area and the master bedroom to the south, functioning as a small autonomous unit, while the services and kitchen are situated to the north. Upstairs, the storage structure organizes five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The exterior features white painted brick walls over galvanized steel plinths, aluminum joinery, and a large zinc roof. Inside, exceptional oak flooring extends vertically into the wooden joinery and white painted surfaces. The simplicity of the finishes allowed for the meticulous design of their junctions. The house is constructed as a series of well-defined planes materialized in wood that provide its complete order.
The expressive identity provided by the roof, resembling a surgical cut, does not compromise its articulation. The plan, folded upon itself, along with the intermediate spaces created by porches and selective landscaping, breaks down the formal unity into a multiplicity of places that will find their specific use, time, or season to be enjoyed through daily life.
