Article source: Elton+Léniz Arquitectos Asociados This house is placed in the last third of a sloping site which it is accessed from below. This position determinates the construction so that the access path doesn’t interrupt the view of the near context of the house. The whole program is developed in a unique level, with the exception of a bedroom, a bathroom and a guests living room that takes advantage of the acclivity of the site and appears below the main volume of the house.

To control the effects of this orientation it is projected a 2 meter wing that emphasizes the horizontal condition of the house on the ground.

The continuous slab is folded longitudinally in order to give shape to two parallel skylights that run along the whole length of the house. Materiality is concrete and its revetment of existing rocks of the area.
