The program is developed in 2 floors: on the ground floor the hall and the living room (housing living room) are located, turning onto the main street. The kitchen and a bedroom with dressing room and integrated toilet, are illuminated through the interior patio. In addition, we find a bathroom and the laundry area at the end of the corridor.

On the first floor the house is divided into two areas: an area under the old wooden deck that houses two bedrooms and a loft, preceding the main patio, and a rear area, where a sleeping area is located that overturns the patio through of a terrace.

Simplification and homogeneity in the application of finishes and the choice of materials are sought.
