From a simple housing program to a 3-bedroom house with large, fluid and accessible areas, with spaces for socializing and leisure, the starting volumetry is deconstructed and adapted to pre-existing elements on the ground - the cork oaks. Keeping the trees was mandatory and the volume adapted to them as well as to the shape of the plot and the program. Furthermore, the project is distributed on one level, which allows another feature common to all rooms - to benefit from natural light. Through generous openings, a patio or even skylights, natural lighting is present in all spaces. From the deconstruction of the volume, a common element stands out - the roof pane. With angular contours, this pane unifies the spaces and brings together alignments, intersections and directions, encompassing the main areas of the house around the patio.
