The plot has a steep slope and is situated on the northern slope of a hill, with magnificent views. This situation greatly complicates the design bioclimatic housing, and solar inputs difficult.
To remedy the situation has made a major excavation of land to the south of the site, and the pool has been arranged here. The ground gained was shifted to the north, in order to raise the housing. This will accomplish several things at once: 1) the solar home can have contributions from the south, 2) ensuring the privacy of the pool, and 3) improve the view of the housing to the north.
The housing structure is a reinterpretation of Spanish courtyard. The rooms are arranged around a central courtyard covered. Thus, the house stays cool in summer (when opening the upper windows of the patio, hot air is removed by chimney effect), and stays warm in winter (when closed the glass top patio, it becomes a gases).
