This house is situated in a former agricultural area that has been transformed into a low-density residential neighbourhood. It faces the south and the distant mountains, opening on to an interior garden and closing to the street.

Parting from the southeast angle of the plot, the exterior skin of the building is generated by cutting and folding a continuous surface. The cuts in the folded surface establish the manner in which the house relates with the exterior. In its contact with the street, the ‘cut-out’ opening of the balcony is the only public element that the house offers to the city.

The successive folding defines an oblique geometry of the light that enters into the most intimate spaces of the house, activating spaces like the dining room or the ascending space of the living room-library, where its lines of continuous movement mark the passing of time.
