Confronted with this condition of urban anonymity, the project adopts an introspective logic, resulting in a domestic space that turns inward—closing itself off from its immediate surroundings and instead oriented towards an internal void conceived as a domestic oasis. This central courtyard emerges not only as an organizing element but as the true heart of the project: a space for retreat, enjoyment, and climatic regulation.
The house is structured across a ground and first floor, articulated in an L-shaped configuration that clearly defines the functional zoning. One wing of the volume houses the guest area, while the other concentrates the primary day-to-day living spaces. At the junction of these two wings is located the main living room—a double-height space that acts as a spatial and visual hinge. This effect is reinforced formally by an inclined roof, which mediates between the single- and double-storey volumes, enriching both the interior spatial perception and the relationship with the courtyard.
The built mass steps back to generate generous overhangs—tectonic ovoids—that function as transitional voids capable of passively regulating the thermal conditions of the inhabited spaces: they shield the interior from high summer sun while allowing solar heat gain during the lower-angled winter months.
