1 | On the one hand, the acces, the garage and all the other uses in the street level, and also a large covered space for special celebrations.
2 | On the other hand, the principal plan of the housing is on the same lever of the garden, which is oriented to the south with views of the Cadí Mountain range. The achieved objective is the continuous garden around the house.
The main idea has been the design of a compact house that is completely integrated with the landscape.

The day zone consists in an open space with the living room, the kitchen and the dining room. It has a direct relation with the outdoor, the views and the southern location.
From this opened space, there is the acces to the following area of privacity, the night zone.
