This house is the response to the unique constraints of its site: a narrow entrance that gradually unfolds into a long, linear space, marked by a preexisting stone structure and enclosed by high perimeter walls.

Five robust concrete walls, oriented perpendicular to the length of the plot, organize the plan by segmenting the elongated space into distinct yet interconnected zones. These walls become sculptural elements that define and structure the essential functions of the house.

In contrast to the raw, monolithic character of the concrete, slender metal elements resolve the roof edges and define the metal volume of the staircase.

The garden, spanning the entire plot, is shaped by the rhythmic repetition of the main walls, which define indoor and outdoor space. This linear landscape acts as a unifying element, ensuring that every room in the house maintains a direct but intimate relationship with the exterior.
