The commission consisted of designing a second home on a 25 x 40-meter plot, maximizing sun exposure, freeing up as much space as possible for the garden, and on a very tight budget. Firstly, it was considered important that the house could accommodate many people in the summer and also host many guests for barbecues. Therefore, a volume of three bedrooms and a living room was arranged facing east to receive the morning sun. The sizes of the rooms were adjusted to accommodate up to 11 people. Additionally, a perpendicular volume was designed containing a connected living-dining-kitchen area and a covered barbecue area.
To give amplitude to the living space located at the intersection of the two volumes, a greater height was proposed, allowing natural light to illuminate the space from above.
The house was designed using a metal frame system and was clad on the exterior with vertical fiber cement sheets. Inside, plasterboard and wood panels were used up to a height of 1.10 meters to optimize the pine module. Additionally, two reinforced concrete elements were considered as a precautionary measure against fire handling: the barbecue wall and the niche containing the wood-burning stove.
