The project is conditioned by a strict regulation of the area, which forces to build with the traditional exterior materials of the stone of the area and inclined roof of manual ceramic tile. The ceretana house intends, then, to integrate itself in the place and in the houses of the existing town, using its same materials and basic elements of the construction of the place: the stone facade, the tile roof, the era or garden, the porches and the access through the ceretana door.

Green mountains visible in the distance and native trees on all sides, combined with the style and arrangement of furniture in the open layout, blur the boundaries of the space. The indoors and outdoors seemingly meld as one. A steel blue cabinet floating in the entry marks the indoors, and directs the circulation.
