Skin

The façades are made of concrete, steel and wood, seeking a sophisticated and austere image at the same time. The house opens with large windows where there are views and they are protected and closed where there are other houses, to avoid prying eyes. The sobriety of the exterior façades contrasts with the interior where a more welcoming atmosphere is sought.

Object

The housing situation in its environment and the search for privacy in the home generates the geometry of the house. It is generated from two pieces, a basement in which the day area is located around a central patio that functions as an access and a second piece that is totally independent geometrically rested upon the base, projected over it to generate a large porch on the ground floor.
