In the moment to choose the construction alternatives we focus in a low budget, reduce impact in the landscape, minimum or none posterior maintenance and a short time of construction. Following this parameters the house was solved like a concrete prism of extended proportions and minimum height. Is located in a flat surface in the terrain who has a strong diagonal slope (6m difference between opposite corners). This way it is scarcely modified the section of dune and the views are not interrupted from the bordering lots to the great landscape since a short term from immediate surroundings a ground will be appraised permanently (in fact the ceiling of the house) will be covered by dry foliage of the pines. The construction is located parallel short side of the lot and the slope of the dune is oblique respect to the orthogonal one, the house appears halfed-bury in one of its angles and with their foundations exposed in the opposite one. Of way so that the pure form contains the summer activities seems to emerge from the dune with two differentiates façades. The SW façade it is sunk in the sand with an opening that crosses it of end to end and whose height is accompanying the slope of the dune. In the other hand the NW façade it is a curtain wall like a balcony that allows distant views but at the same time it is partially protected of the glances from the street by partition walls, that they vary its position and amount according to the atmosphere that they protect. The glasses reflect the landscape as well the house is observed from outside, they create and emphasize a series of vertical elements of much protagonism (true and reflected trees, true and reflected thin walls), that reduce importance of the strong horizontal presence of the prism. And offer at the observer changing sights while it’s moving.
