Housing with an ‘L’-shaped floor plan that combines the refined lines of the white upper volume with sharp edges with the more compact volumes of the lower floor. The imposing cantilever generated by the parking area, the interior-exterior continuity that blurs the limits and the natural light that penetrates into the heart of the house through a skylight located in the double height next to the staircase stand out.

The façade is created with aluminium slats that form the abstract image of a Cordoban forest. This is achieved thanks to the treatment of every 20 x 40 mm slat’s edges, which makes them unique. Facing the street (20 mm exterior edge), slats are finished with green mirror material that, on the one hand, reflect cars and pedestrians passing through and the nearby trees’ leaves waving alongside the wind and, on the other hand, they dye the adjacent street pavement green as a result of reflecting the sunlight.
