This house was the starting point for the language of this project. A place that invites to be lived inwards; this was the theme that guided the design process for a family that is trying to escape the logic of the systematic, with a dynamic of present parents, parents who search in simplicity the calm brought by a connection with the real. The house was organized in two levels, with a total covered surface of 344 m2. The social area on the ground floor, forming a blind volume towards the front facing west and materialized in exposed brick, anchors the project to the local tradition and functions as the foundation of the upper volume.

The dining room is connected to the gallery by large glazed panels, a transition space between the interior and the green exterior. Following the kitchen, a narrow volume of services is projected, laundry room, tender, pool bathroom and a storage deposit.

The private area, with a surface of 123 m2, contains to the west the stairwell, a study and a bathroom, while to the east there are three bedrooms with a great visual opening to the hill range. The en suite bedroom expands towards the terrace which is protected from the south by the volume of the en suite bathroom that is projected to the east using the same language as the services on the ground floor.
