Briefing
A young family requested for an informal organization for the house that had to favor the common spaces and establish a strong connection with the exterior.

 

The rather undefined flat rural context is mediated by self-referencing the house around a central open patio that mediates all relations with the exterior and on to which all common spaces converge forming a single uninterrupted space.

On each facade a single opening units all windows and allows for more secluded external spaces.
