The object was built as another in a series of experimental projects exploring minimalist building methods and various levels of comfort. It was built in the spare time of the author and his colleagues and can be rented. Structurally, it is a combination of panel and frame construction with three temperature zones. The concept was based on the use of actual waste material for the facade. This material was not pre-determined, although the idea was more about natural waste, such as mowed grass, reeds, etc. Jakub Hrab Jakub Hrab Eventually, by chance, several kilometers from the construction site, road cleaning and trimming of bushes encroaching on the roadway began.

On the north-western coast of Sicily, Villa Uzeta establishes a discreet, low-density architecture that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The site is defined by two dominant natural features: a rocky ridge crossing the plot transversely and an olive grove structuring the agricultural landscape. These elements serve as generative matrices for the design, guiding the placement of volumes to preserve sightlines and maintain the agricultural use of the land. The building is organized on a single level, composed of two partially recessed volumes, minimizing visual impact and respecting the scale of the rural settlement.

The ensemble comprises the Puente del Rey, treated as a square over the riverbed, and the esplanade to which it leads, separating the river from the Casa de Campo on the left bank. The space is built upon the footprint of the underground tunnels and becomes an open and clear area, an immense balcony over the river, observing the atmosphere crowned by the Royal Palace perched on the heights of Madrid. The esplanade is formed exclusively by an extended sheet of granite and limestone that adopts a gentle undulating topography when negotiating with the facilities of the underground highway.
