“The house is confined within stone walls as an enclosure, thus generating an intimate space where you can build a universe of your own”, Ramón Esteve.
Horizontality
The development of the project was based on a set of program-containing boxes and sunlight-capturing courtyards, sewn together between two horizontal platforms that enclose the space.
In order to highlight these elements, the floor has been risen 30 cm from the ground level. This pavement and the white concrete roof, which hold the boxes where the different rooms are settled, enhance the sensation of horizontality.
“The house is confined within stone walls as an enclosure, thus generating an intimate space where you can build a universe of your own”, Ramón Esteve.
The studio is located on the ground floor, with only one facade facing the street. Its spatial structure is radically longitudinal, four meters wide by twenty meters deep and four meters high. We had to give form to a work space flexible enough to be able to contain both a small or a large work group, and could also englobe several simultaneous uses.
On the longitudinal sides we place the storage: the right side will contain the secondary spaces – bathroom, kitchen, archive and reprography – and the left, the library. The back part of the space contains a three by two fifty meters wall we will use as a projection screen.
Whitewashing, Enjalbegar in spanish, many languages have verbs that describe the action of lime painting the architectures to clean and embellish them.
In this case it is about updating an apartment with a characteristic distribution of the Valencian expansion district. This type of buildings with a high depth of block and a small central courtyard determines the possible distributions. We approach this work in a systematic way, but here the action of whitewashing goes beyond the treatment of surfaces.

The house is located in a peaceful neighbourhood called La Cañada, Valencia. The plot is rectangular-shaped, placed in the corner of two main streets and with two boundary walls towards neighbours.
The main idea of the project is making up a building with two clearly distinct volumes, in shape and materials, which are related within themselves by emptying them as a sculpture, using patios and double heights.
