Text description provided by the architects. The house is conceived as a prism leaning against the south side of a square corner lot of approximately 30m on each side, releasing a large void towards good orientation. The absence of pre-existing vegetation, a condition of new private urbanizations in the periphery, made it necessary to design a "porous" house that includes a large number of intermediate shaded spaces.
