All of them have been, along with the orientation (N-S, following the elongated form of the plot) and the program of needs (a house for a two-children family), determining factors in the Roteta House formalization.

The sequence starts from North with the children’s rooms, continues with the toilet rooms and the parents’ room, and ends in the kitchen, from where the living-room grows, linked with the garden through a porch open to the South.

The external appearance of this space contrasts with the linear volume, whose curved geometry, coated with zinc, stands out from the previous one, seeking the Eastern light.
