A privileged place within a golf course near to Valencia is the starting point of this project.
The proposal is drawn with elliptical traces which contain the program and maximize the possibilities of local urban law by minimizing the volumetric impact on the site. Thus, a piece with a continuous façade that seems to lodge only one floor is set on the site. The aerodynamic visuals of it guide the eye towards the deepness of the neighbouring landscape.












































The volume is placed leaving as much free surface as possible towards the southern edge of the plot for it to be used as a garden, while the lateral limits are blurred with vegetation. The other elements that compose the urbanization resemble the curved nature of the place's topography.
The inner space of the house is articulated through a central void which contains communications. Service spaces, installations and the kitchen are used to orthogonalize the curved trace of the lower floor, which opens to the garden. The upper floor with the rooms and the underground, opened to the patio, provide the house with more bounded spaces.
Four concrete supports on the lower floor hold the arched roof, from which the room's floor hangs. This structure is covered by a monolithic, ventilated façade, which is realized with a Solid Surface with a simple curve that doesn't require thermoforming to adapt to the geometry of the piece. The rest of materials used in the construction range from white to black, covering all scales of grey.
Other explanations can be superposed to this description, as the carpet of light which transforms the inside of the house as the hours go by.

Un lugar privilegiado inmerso en un campo del Golf situado en las proximidades de Valencia, supone el punto de partida del proyecto.
La propuesta se dibuja a través de trazas elípticas que contienen el programa, maximizando las posibilidades dadas por la normativa y minimizando el impacto volumétrico sobre el lugar. Se dispone así una pieza con una fachada continua, que parece albergar una única planta y cuya condición visualmente aerodinámica hace que la mirada fugue hacia la profundidad del paisaje vecino.
La pieza se deposita liberando la mayor superficie posible en el frente sur de la parcela para aprovecharla como jardín. Los limites laterales intentan desdibujarse mediante la vegetación. El resto de elementos que configuran la urbanización recuerdan la naturaleza curva de la topografía del lugar.
El espacio interior de la vivienda se articula mediante un vacío central en el que se encuentra el núcleo de comunicación. Los espacios de servicio, las instalaciones y la cocina, permiten ortogonalizar el trazado curvo de una planta baja abierta al jardín. La planta superior con las habitaciones y la planta sótano abierta al patio dotan a la vivienda de espacios acotados.
La estructura de hormigón de la planta baja sostiene mediante cuatro soportes el arco de cubierta del que cuelga el forjado de la zona de noche. Esta estructura se recubre mediante una fachada ventilada monolítica realizada con un Solid Surface que con simple curvatura y sin necesidad de termoconformarse se adapta a la geometría de la pieza. El resto de materiales van del blanco al negro pasando por todos los grises.
Otras explicaciones se superponen a esta descripción como, por ejemplo, una alfombra de luz que transforma, con el paso de las horas, el interior de la casa.
