The dividing walls are placed following this tracking and together with the load-bearing walls form clear, defined and different spaces among them.

The two spaces of the kitchen and dining-room together with the living room reveals a circular path through two different openings in the load-bearing wall, that allows you to recognize the scale of the buildings structure.

The bathrooms are designed as two different spatial conditions. One ‘white’, where the light enters laterally by two openings and draw different spaces. One ‘black’ where the light captured by the roof, illuminates the shower space and allows the more ‘internal’ space of the house to relate itself with the sky.
