Text description provided by the architects. The plot is a 70mx40m rectangle with a difference of 5m between high and low elevations. Starting at the low elevation, an existing path to the east gives access to a contiguous house to the north which was the reference to the chosen site. It was decided to build the house against the driveway, the volume is adjusted until it slightly turns its back on anyone who arrives and the house also manages to carefully protect the view of the surrounding landscape, in this position. It is in this game of hide and seek that the surprise increases, we start wanting to climb, to understand, to arrive, to enter, to discover.
