The brief calls for two houses that can be realised in two stages and later function together or separately. We believe that this strategy is efficient in order to value the site in its full potential and maximise the future benefits, should the complex be used as one extended residency or two. With this in mind, we created a complex that is unified in terms of aesthetics and materiality, but still preserves the privacy of the two residencies.

The complex is more introvert as we approach by the main road, where the entrance is situated. As we walk from the entrance or the parking towards the House B, the space is revealed in sequences, leaving for the end the arrival in the open space living room and kitchen that opens towards the ocean view. The ground floor of House B has also a study room, separated from the living room, thus being more quiet and peaceful. The master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, as well as three bedrooms, compose the first floor. There is also a common space for studying, playing or relaxing in a more casual way for the guests. The volume of House B stands as an obstacle towards the SW prevailing winds of the site.
