An introspective and essential dwelling emerges, rooted in the terrain and the color of the earth that surrounds it. Its reddish, almost earthy mass is presented as a forceful gesture that converses with the landscape from the material and texture. Far from seeking prominence, the architecture allows itself to be absorbed by the place.

A house that seems to be extracted from the earth, where the concrete ceases to be cold to become living matter, and where the interior design does not dress, but interprets living with deep sensitivity.

01_Landscape

The house rises naturally from the ground, as if it had been sculpted directly from a clay stratum. Its reddish clay tone resonates with the chromatic palette of the Mediterranean or rural environment, integrating with honesty in the landscape. The orientation and arrangement of the openings respond to the path of the sun and the need to generate shade.

02_Object

The volume is compact, monolithic, but far from being static, it is articulated through recesses, courtyards and precise cuts. This architectural object refers to a timeless construction, with both primitive and contemporary echoes. The pigmented concrete, executed with precision, generates a solid body that protects, embraces and defines with strength. Each transition between spaces is worked as a pause, a compression or an expansion, where scale, light and matter are carefully orchestrated.

03_Skin

The exterior envelope, made of reddish concrete and clay latticework, functions as a mineral skin that breathes, protects and conveys warmth. In contrast, the interior design displays exquisite sensitivity: noble materials, soft textures, warm tones and precise details that tame the stone mass and turn it into a refuge. Every corner has been thought from the human scale, from everyday use and visual pleasure. The interior is not an added decoration, but an intimate continuity of the architecture.
