The single-family housing is located at the edge of the city urban plot of Vic, where the views of the landscape and the Montseny become an essential element of the project. Taking advantage of the topography, the house is structured in three levels; the semi-buried parking lot with direct access from the lower street, the ground floor, where the day area is located; kitchen, living room, dining room, office / room and bathroom, with pedestrian and car access from the upper passage, and the first floor, that define the night area, consisting of a double room, two singles rooms and a bathroom.

The intervention strategy consists of reducing the building’s footprint to free up the plant and generate an open space where the user can enjoy the visuals of the Vic landscape in direct connection with the kitchen, living room and dining room

The program compaction is achieved by creating two bays, where the staircase organizes the distribution and the structure at the same time, and also the economic impact of the intervention is reduced.

The home main facade is oriented to the visuals and is protected with an exterior porch to guarantee the interior thermal comfort.

The horizontal structure it’s done with prefabricated concrete beams and the vertical one with ceramic bricks. One of the project targets was to reduce its energy consumption, avoid its thermal losses and get down its energy demand. For that reason a continuous skin was created, formed by 11cm of insulation and an exterior ceramic brick wall with a plaster mortar finish, with a total façade resulting thickness of 41cm.

Installation system is also obtained by renewable energy, using aerothermics in both ACS and heating, as well as cooling in summer.
