In the urban fabric of the neighborhood, typologies from the early 1900s and new buildings coexist. This building's site is located in a block that preserves intact the original typology of single-family houses between party walls with an attached private garden behind. Oriented along a northeast-southwest axis, it consists of a two-story building with a roof terrace and a single-story pavilion at the bottom of the garden.

The site is characterized by Mediterranean vegetation typical of the area and includes olive trees, pines, mastic trees, and palm hearts on calcareous soils. The plot, of about 900 m2, is located at the end of small urbanization on the edge of the Garraf Natural Park, on the coast south of Barcelona. A construction that would allow contemplating the landscape and would entail low energy consumption was the main requirement of this commission. At the same time, the project presented multiple challenges: a steeply sloping, north-facing plot, and a limited budget.
