The project concerns a residence on a narrow, elongated plot, where the architectural composition is structured through two distinct rectangular volumes in displacement, developing linearly along the length of the site.

The residence is formed through the interplay between a solid, elevated volume and a more transparent ground floor. Their relative displacement generates a permeable nucleus of semi-outdoor living functioning as an intermediate threshold between interior and exterior. This space establishes a direct visual and functional continuity with the main living areas. The linear development of the composition responds to the geometry of the plot, reinforcing clarity in spatial organization and continuity in the living experience.

Exposed concrete constitutes the dominant material of the composition, expressed with a clear, monolithic character that conveys a sense of mass and permanence. Along the eastern boundary of the plot, a rough stone wall with discreet openings defines the outdoor living zone, while simultaneously integrating elements of outdoor cooking and gathering. The juxtaposition of materials (concrete and stone) attempts to convey a balance between the artificial and the natural, strengthening the building’s relationship with its landscape.

At ground level, the main living spaces are directly connected to the landscaped environment and the water element. Sliding glass panels, fully concealed within specially designed wall recesses, allow for the complete unification of interior and exterior spaces, dissolving their boundaries and creating a continuous spatial condition of habitation, when desired. 

The upper floor accommodates the sleeping area of the residence, protected by deep overhangs that incorporate planting and contribute to passive solar shading. Light is treated as a primary compositional tool: at the roof of the building, a long horizontal opening operates as a “ribbon” of light relieving the mass of the concrete.

A curved cut within part of this opening, positioned above the children’s bedrooms, introduces a softer geometric gesture, mitigating the strictness of the primary volumes. Through this intervention, the composition aims to deliver a more expressive way of observing the sky, where rigid geometry engages in dialogue with a more fluid formal articulation.
