While assessing the site, it became clear the building should be simple. Both, the structure and the landscape should develop an expressive dialogue with each other. Following three dichotomies: public and private, full and empty, built and natural, the project emerges. Attending to the unique characteristics of the site, three volumes emerge. They provide a clear separation from its busy surroundings and close the space into itself.

Each volume interacts in a unique manner with the other as well as with its surroundings. Each one assumes a specific function and connects to the next through paths and patios.

These three volumes arise from a single mass.

Closer to the street, the first one includes the social area of the house - the living room, the dining room and the kitchen.

The adjacent volume comprehends the space dedicated to visitors, opening into the outdoor space for common use.

The third one, more discreet, includes the more private areas of the house - the bedrooms.

Recreating traditional houses, gable roofs allow a deconstruction and reinterpretation of a memory.

A central patio unifies the fragmented units, creating transition as if it was a link.

In spite of three separated volumes, the composition becomes a single and whole entity in constant connection with nature and its residents.
