It all began with the recovery of a house, consolidating its foundations to address a problem with capillary humidity. The recovery then developed into a proposal for an extended intervention, like the recovering of a territory. The goal of the construction was to liberate the landscape and emphasize the qualities of the place. These kinds of projects are very intimate exercises; transforming a pre-existing structure into a house and to regain the qualities of the past. It is a proposal that emerged from an understanding of the projects relationship with time.
