As lagula arquitectes states, ‘the beauty of complex plots is they provide specific conditions to produce architecture.’ with this in mind, the design of the house can be described in two simple steps, each of which focused on optimizing the site constraints. the first step was to orient the building in such a way to obtain the best views and privacy. therefore, the volume appears as a wedge, growing from one level at the street elevation to two storys at the rear.
The second step was to provide sun, views and a feeling of privacy through a series of curved subtractions on the wedged volume. each concave subtraction has a specific function. some of them provide a sense of entrance, while others afford lateral views, bring natural light into the kitchen courtyard, or open the building up to the afternoon sun. other smaller or secondary punctures contribute to generate the spatial quality of the interior, porches or intermediate spaces of the house.
