In Benalmádena Costa, among large tourist complexes, this intervention is linked to tradition, landscape and memory. Recovering fragments of this linked to the sea and nature and using materials linked to the marine tradition.

An entrance hall is built, a viewpoint to the Mediterranean, which links Antonio Machado avenue and the Torrequebrada promenade through a staircase carved on the hillside that solves a sharp jump.

[implantation]

Located on a hillside, within an urbanization of isolated single-family homes, close and lacking in privacy due to the steep slope of the territory.

Implanted on a hillside, the house is protected from the existing scenario, linking to the hillside and the surrounding vegetation. From the intervention, the retaining wall of masonry is maintained that located in the first line of a facade, serves as a protection to the views from the street and of zócalo to the positioning of the esplanade, located at an intermediate level of the hillside in which it sits the House.

Trees of medium size will be the acoustic and visual screen needed in the second line. The house will be formalized, within the adjusted area of movement of the plot, taking into account passive energy efficiency strategies and turning the view from the interior to the nearest mountain, in the north direction, where the promoter approaches his daily steps to travel the Route of Jarapalos.
