Memoria original en inglés::

A young couple who is interested in the nowadays kind of living are campaign in our project of making an extremely interesting site at a corner available. The situation at the front of the constructed area, at the edge of the gardens, where tradition and reality confront each other as the last site of the village, was a special challenge.

The basic concept of this project is no longer the concept of the emptied cube. Here are the clauses completely turned over. As the Terragnian handling, the skins, and the planes which crease and involve the created inner and outer spaces in a three-dimensional game that takes away borders and configures the naked emptiness.
The structure splits the space longitudinal and gives origin to two parallel functional bands through a constructed storage line. While integrating the patio, the inner space expands horizontally and flees vertically until the terrace-garden accompanied by the staircase wall.

The final materialisation plays with the contrary concepts. The supporting wall is a folded skin and the traditional handling of the windows crashes with the abstract quality of this facade. The skin becomes bony in the corner. The column-girder system transforms into a flat party wall.
