Description

The house is developed at a crossroads of two streets. The two volumes protect the open family space on a plateau in the centre of the lot, from views from the neighbourhood. Between the entrance, the living room and the terrace with swimming pool, two level changes are opening up the cieling height towards the more social areas. The roofs protect the openings with wide eaves and create a protected buffer zone between the closable rooms and the outside.
The simple, single or gable roofs have windows and openings at the ridge to ensure cross ventilation and the direct evacuation of any hot air that might accumulate.
The house is mainly built with 4 elements: white rendered walls, fibre cement cladding, visible steel profiles, exposed concrete and timbre louvers in local almendro hardwood.
