The house is for a couple with three children, no shades can be found and it is situated in the expansion of workers’ houses typical of the first half of the twentieth century. It is located near the center of the city streets and this house has a shape of orthogonal, long and narrow at about four meters long. The characteristics of the land and housing planning usually marked by its lack of natural light and no relationship in terms of space and ventilation, among the facades.

The project strategy of this modern house by H ARQUITECTES is recognized in the section of the house: an unusual provision of the program by plants, the addition of a patio on the ground floor and use the ladder as a tool for natural lighting and ventilation. This modern house separated between the playing space for kids and their father’s working space.

The daily activity area was placed on the first floor, the level of the terrace formed by the low plant cover. The kitchen, dining and living relate to each other without any impediments. You can see how it is generating a sequence of continuous open spaces from the facade to the street-kitchen-to the bottom of the plot-terrace.

The three-bedroom single-children were found in the second floor, in front, tied to the stairs through a generously sized study, which becomes the common area of playing ground. The staircase shed from the first floor, is defined with great precision because it requires greater transparency, both to allow maximum natural lighting, to avoid interference with the relations of the first floor common areas.
