The new house is integrated into the built environment respecting the views of the neighbors and oriented towards the vineyards. The house adapts to the topography with a staggered construction, almost without earthwork, which places the day area in direct connection with the garden.

The proposal is incorporated into the built base of the Castle of Sant Genís. Thanks to the two streets and existing accesses, the regulations are reinterpreted and the ground floor is considered at garden level, leaving the house semi-buried. This allows to preserve the views of the neighboring house, integrate the house into the land and reinforce the presence of the castle.

The program is flexible, with four rooms of the same size, a work space convertible into a room and two shared bathrooms. The house dialogues with the neighboring Mediterranean constructions, simple and functional, and responds to the pre-existences of the site: a ground floor wooden house and a retaining wall with a lot of presence.

The economic construction system, with load-bearing walls, exposed ceramic vaulted ceilings and concrete beams, refers to the Catalan tradition. The exposed concrete pavement provides thermal inertia and a quiet atmosphere.

Vegetable patios, reed porch and rope shutters favour cross ventilation and thermal regulation. With 60% of the house in contact with the land, the temperate climate close to the sea and passive strategies, the house achieves comfort without heating or cooling, beyond a fireplace in the living room, approaching an nZEB house.
