Sheltered by the rock formations and vegetation, the floor plan develops along an “L” shape, along a corridor that functions as the supporting spine of the entire proposal and which allows access to all its spaces. The house is divided into two separate volumes: the first one where the private areas are located (bedrooms) and a second one where we find the living areas, namely the living and dining rooms, kitchen and office / library.

Through traditional materials and formal discourse of the construction it was intended to provide a sense of tranquility, privacy, serenity and silence. The predominant combination of materials are the smooth concrete floors and the white rendered walls, occasionally interrupted my granite masonry walls. All furniture, door and window frames are made from oak timber due to its texture and color which combines very well with the surrounding materials.

 

Inside, light is the great protagonist, flooding the interior spaces in vast quantities through large openings that go from the floor to the ceiling. Outside, very few details distract the attention from surrounding beauty, reigned by towering granite formations that rise from the ground on a par with the oaks and olive groves. It was thus sought beauty in simplicity in order to allow a house harmoniously combined with the landscape of great simplicity instead of interfering with it.
