Set on a narrow plot with a gentle slope, the house sits at the highest point of the site. Its elongated form mirrors the geometry of the terrain, allowing the architecture to follow the land with minimal intervention. This position opens the house toward the south, bringing light and warmth deep into its spaces. 

The plan is composed of a series of rectangular volumes, slightly shifted to create intervals. These spaces — patios, porches, voids — break the continuity of the form, introducing rhythm and variation. They invite air and light to move through, and offer places of pause and transition. 
A single sloping roof brings unity to the whole. Below, a horizontal base of porches and pergolas frames the relationship between inside and outside. The interplay of these two gestures — roof and base — defines the architectural language: clear, direct, quiet. 

A regular rhythm of structural columns organizes the plan. This order, repeated without emphasis, gives the house a sense of clarity and permanence. It holds the architecture together, not through spectacle, but through structure. 

The project relies on passive strategies: orientation, protection, shade. These are paired with active systems of low impact — ventilation with heat recovery, solar energy for climate and water. Together, they reduce the house’s demands on the land. 

Materials are chosen for their proximity, texture, and durability: larch wood for the openings, handmade ceramic brick for the latticework, lime mortar, cyclopean concrete walls, crushed roof tile gravel in exterior paths, natural cane ceilings in porches and corridors, concrete flooring, and roof insulation made from Neptune balls, gathered from the local shoreline. 

The result is a house that does not seek to stand out. Precise but not rigid, tactile but not decorative. Rooted in place, measured in time.
