Ten kilometers west of Seville, where there is a proliferation of residential settlements for families who prefer to live outside the urban environment, is located this house designed for a couple with three children. The house is located on a rectangular plot oriented north-south in its largest dimension and practically flat, sharing only its east side with an adjoining plot, while the remaining three sides are aligned to two roads and a pedestrian one to the south. The most immediate surroundings of the plot are a group of single-family houses, in front of which two free areas will be located with a presumable educational and green area use.

Without any territorial and topographical conditions of interest, this house sought in its orientation and physical relationship with the immediate environment, some keys that could inspire its design. It seemed that the plot, on its shorter side facing south, offered the ideal place to locate the house. The elongated proportion of the plot led us to consider a house in which alternately arranged a sequence of full and empty, which was intended to provide its own character. An identical proportion between the surfaces dedicated to the day and night areas, planned from the beginning with great autonomy, gave rise to two parallel pieces subtly displaced to produce the access to the house, also allowing to leave between them an interior open courtyard and a front space open to the porch. The first of them, of a great introversion and preserved at all times from prying eyes, allowed the rest and play areas to fully appropriate it, functioning as an extension to the outside of these rooms. As a counterpoint, the front space, more open and public, offered a recreation area linked to the current vegetation of the plot and the enjoyment of the pool.

The large concrete plinth on which the entire house rests defines two inclined planes, both for vehicular access and pedestrian access to the garden, intended to be the barrier that further isolates the house from the rest of the nearby buildings.

As a result of an exhaustive exercise of economic containment, constructively the house uses techniques and materials from the local tradition, masonry walls, lime tile roofing, tile roofing, stone floors. Only the concrete wall, the carpentry and the sheet metal finishings add a technological note to the house.
