The project sits on a sloping plot, where the topography decisively shapes the design strategy. The built volume steps down following the contour lines, allowing each floor to establish its own relationship with the land and with the landscape of the Vallès Oriental and the distant views towards the Montseny.
The ground floor accommodates the parking and the entrance to the house. Unlike the most common solution, which places the entrance at the front closest to the street, here the entry is set back to the far end of the plot. This decision responds to a clear intention: to prevent the staircase core from interfering with the proper functioning of the upper floors or with the relationship between the interior and the landscape. To give quality to this entrance sequence, an interior courtyard is introduced, bringing natural light, ventilation and spatial richness to the threshold.
The sleeping area occupies the first floor, where the bedrooms and bathrooms are located, with direct access to the garden — giving the younger members of the household their own outdoor space within the plot.
The upper floor concentrates the day living areas — living room, dining room and kitchen — in a single longitudinal space that takes advantage of the highest level to capture the best views. Large glazed openings dissolve the boundary between inside and outside, connecting the domestic space with both the immediate and distant landscape. This floor extends outward through a terrace and a swimming pool, both oriented towards the open views, reinforcing the relationship between water, landscape and daily life.
Materially, the house establishes a dialogue between three elements: the natural limestone of the walls that divide the plot into different levels, in continuity with the land; the board-formed concrete of the upper volumes, precise and assertive; and the timber of the facade battens and interiors, which introduces warmth and a domestic scale.
