The house, in a long shape, tries to make the best use of the relationship with the outside and the solar quadrant. The social areas enjoy a long partially covered patio, and the bedrooms and office, on the upper floor, open up to large balconies and terraces, enjoying morning and southern light. The volumetry is marked by horizontality, accentuated by planes in white plaster, which contrast with the cladding of the walls in cement tiles, giving plasticity and animation to the set. The interior circulation takes place in a mirror with the exterior pedestrian access only separated by a large glazed area.
