A simple geometry with homogeneous and continuous textures makes this project a contemporary and unique composition in its immediate context. Designed as a house that runs horizontally across the lot as an elongated structure with a low height, in order not to overload the surrounding environment. In this way, the floor is built slightly above the ground and on a single level. From the beginning, the spirit that guided the entire project was to achieve a permanent dialogue between the interior and the exterior, the materials being responsible for achieving said union with the particularity of not being altered in order to provide a natural aesthetic with a robust character both in interior and exterior design.
