In this terraced house project, the architecture is conceived around the interplay of light between two courtyards. By looking both backward and forward, a continuous and constructive dialogue is established inside between natural light, open spaces, and the inherent texture of the materials.

It is precisely the textured materials, combined with neutral tones, that define the atmosphere of the space, while the simplicity of form and a rational layout seek a harmonious balance between the common areas.

On the lower level, dedicated to the daytime zone, the kitchen is fully interconnected with the dining room, study, living room, and the two courtyards. On the first floor, however, three bedrooms are independently organized from the landing. At a central point, the hallway transforms into the dressing room of the main suite, a vanity area, and provides access to the bedroom with terrace and the bathroom. On this level, the large windows located on both sides of the house allow for a clear reading of the exterior from within, though — whether through the use of exterior venetian blinds or vertical lattice screens as a second skin — the clients' privacy is fully ensured.

The staircase, positioned directly opposite the front door, is one of the most defining architectural elements of the build, thanks to a large skylight that floods it with natural light throughout the day. Its design combines two of the project's most important materials: oak wood — in both natural and black-stained finishes — and microcement. As throughout the rest of the project, tactility has been a priority, and the railing features a black steel handrail that enriches the sensory experience as one moves through the space.

Although the house opens to the exterior from both ends, the interior dialogue extends more openly toward the rear courtyard, where the cladding of stained wooden slats crosses beyond the façade boundary and carves out a storage space that continues outdoors. On this terrace, a pool is flanked by vegetation, and a metal pergola softens the direct impact of sunlight on the outdoor dining area.

Despite the living room being visually open to this space, the design ensures the interior always feels warm. A large built-in storage unit positioned opposite the sofa — finished to match the walls — encourages a distraction-free aesthetic, and attention is drawn to a discreet fireplace that places fire at the center of family life.
