From the architect. Houses within a house, half hidden corners, shadows and recollection,

kindness and tenderness, measure and proportion, all of this is sensed in this house. When

one visits, even more is discovered. Wood and more wood of all types, colors, scents, and

textures, this is the home for a carpenter who enjoys his profession, he is the carpenter

working with me for two decades.

Pleural transition spaces. Thinking and building a house for a couple, means knowing their

privacy, these inhabitants have been intimidated. They have understood the suffering and

sacrifice that means getting involved in this life project. The house is designed from the

inside out, and this is the result and reward of years of inquiries, sketches, models,

meetings, good communication, and understanding with the owners. Every corner, every

line drawn, represents a thought, represents an action. The house is full of daily actions,

sometimes evident and sometimes not.

A half-buried plan (facilities, garage and studio), and two plans shape and constrain the

daily actions. The house gives a part of its garden to the public space, without a physical

World
