Santiagomendi House
The project proposes the construction of a single-family house in an independent smallholding, located in a privileged settlement, from which the great views of the coastline are observed. The project is born as a response to the place, articulating the access from the highest part of the hillside at the south, with the views of the Cantabrian Sea in the north. The building is adapted to the gradient in a stepped way. The access path to the house generates a sequence which, in a gradual way, gets into the land, hiding the views, in order to show them later with a bigger impact in the interior. The rotundity of the two built volumes is in contrast with the organic placement of the urbanisation walls. These extend themselves through the plot helping in the integration of the building on the site.
