A retired couple decided to use their life savings to build a new home for themselves and the occasional visits from their children and grandchildren who live abroad. The clients desired a house designed to be used now and by future generations, who would then inherit the property. Seeking flexibility and future change, the design is based on creating a clear spatial system around which the adaptation process takes place. This system organizes not only the service areas and facilities but also the spatial relationships, structure, light, and energy transmission.

Specifically, the design is mainly constructed using a system of brick walls that articulate all the relevant spatial relationships, allowing for fluid habitability and variability between them. The walls are composed of two interconnected solid layers of brick that act both as structural support for the house and as a 35 cm thick enclosure with a high energy transmission coefficient. In the public areas of the house, the brick walls, which have been left next to the uncoated concrete slabs to absorb energy flows, are slightly offset. In this way, they partially expose the spaces behind them without closing them off completely. Displacement, perforations, and connections in the section create a dense network of spatial relationships that structure everyday life in the house.

Finally, a double height frames the façade of the house through the portico of slender concrete columns, which responds to an intention to frame the presence of the house, an express wish of the client.
