In 2017, after acquiring a plot near Albolote, at the foot of the Tajo Colorao and in front of an olive grove, the owners commissioned Serrano + Baquero Arquitectos to build a house with the wish that they would try to link that agricultural image of the plain that resided in their memory with their needs. The plot is of narrow proportions, a situation aggravated by the existence of a right-of-way for use of the acequia on one of the long sides. This route is necessary to carry out the daily maintenance of the ditch that adjoins one of the short sides.

The project tried to respond to the geometry of the plot by adopting an elongated configuration, reminiscent of tobacco drying rooms. This situation allowed an interesting relationship and exchange between the two long facades, due to their proximity.
