The house is introduced in the contemporaneity of the threshold, of that space "between" that is discovered in the domesticity of its inhabitants.
The rural layout of the place configures the architectural form of the house that develops in two floors, the threshold appears in the lateral configuration in "T" where the first floor is generated as an indeterminate and generic condition with the possibility of expansion in front and against front while the second floor is proposed to inhabit, this with the objective and desire of the users to have a direct relationship with the landscape. The bedrooms are located towards the back of the house facing a jungle garden while the social spaces are integrated towards a balcony overlooking the main street, for this reason the house proposes privacy filters towards degrees of intimacy that underline the desired.
