In an area of 10ha, the house is located 400m from the main road in a higher area but surrounded by trees that mainly shade private areas.
Nature as an intermediary, a client who dreams of his grandmother's ranch, a reinterpretation made by its designers - the hay gable roof being the most important part. The house grows horizontally to take advantage of the environment and keep the house in 1 single tier for cost and terrain.
The materiality is low-cost. Is used: exposed concrete, brick with colored earth mortar in the walls, and white brick in the floors, standard openings, low-cost led lighting, artisanal rusted ironwork, masonry, and concrete furniture.
