It was constructed in wood, recalling the maritime construction and using white painted table. White is the colour of galleries and houses of the village. The ground floor facade is stony, in continuity with the traditional street facades. We wanted to reflect the spirit of the popular architecture without giving up our self-expression.

The second floor has a bedroom, an office and a bathroom. At the penthouse floor is the ensuite room.

The ladder -leaning against the partition wall-, leaves rooms on each side. Meanwhile the facade stands out at its centre making larger spaces, or it approaches to the stairs making an entrance cover. The high ceilings and narrow windows relate plants to each other and the outside space, without actually showing it all. The purpose was to reinvent a new living space, which is nowadays in ruins and unresolved..
