Demand: The demand was to design the family's move from an urban apartment to a house very close to nature. The house would be the beginning of life away from the city for a remote-working couple long before it became an almost normal condition. The site, with more than half of its total area preserved under ​​permanent environmental protection regulations, had a regular and gentle slope, parallel to the front alignment, and a huge ficus tree occupying the front portion of the plot.

This base volume supports an exposed ceramic brick prism, covered by a single pitched roof, which contains the main functions of the house. Bedrooms, living, kitchen, and dining are arranged in a modular and linear way in a pure rectangular plan. There’s a transparent aisle, facing the pool and the front of the lot, that serves the rooms while providing a walk very close to the outside.
