Box of lights and shadows. 1

The project stems from the commissioning of which require some grandparents in their retirement years a place for them, their sons and granddaughters. Some children with different conditions, married with a daughter and another single. One earring and another independent.

The intense light, is the main material with which rose this house, which is an area traversed by light diagonal slash.

A start thinking about the differences. We have to look at the difference the same.
It is intended, with very simple gestures, to earn a place that can evolve over time or far away. A stroke forever.
It was near the site with walls, like a box open to the sky. At the center, meeting with Setbacks set it with a "H" white.
Because the site and orientation, here we decided to implement a kind of diagonal space resulting from the connection of two double-height spaces together. An open space into the landscape. This makes for an area more than twice that incorporates a high quality diagonal that is still capable of surprise. The light that comes from on high through the large skylight that marks the direction of the sun on the south puts tension in this space efficiently.
The house opens to the patio with a large slit that allows a panoramic view framed in shadow. The floor extends to the outside on a platform as large as the house itself, and is brought forward as floating on the patio. The great level of the soil, built in stone, flat light, emphasizes the landscape, closer.
The sides of the ground (that limit access to the street and adjoining neighbors) whose center is in the house, closed with white walls.

Completing the main operation, the house will open eyes to the landscape in different ways. In the library, higher, opening a hole that big square frames, values, the landscape.
Composer's house is an "H" divided into two halves, or better yet, in three equal parts. A third hosts the common areas, a dining room and kitchen. Another third, in addition to the vertical circulations, the most private rooms and services. The last, the library. Ordered so elemental.
The construction is simple, and finished in white like all houses of Andalusia. It would appear that the house had been there all their lives before they reached Suburbia. It is in the interior where he discovers the secret play of light and shadow, space and time. Easy as needed.
Thus, a simple house closed, through the Light and the proportion, it becomes a big house and open where, with almost nothing, anything is possible.
