The plot, with a marked unevenness in the terrain, is located in an urbanization with a predominance of single-family housing use in Puente Genil, Córdoba.
A country house is designed, whose initial goal was to have a versatile, comfortable day area closely linked to the outdoor space and the pool area.
The night area should have four rooms, having one of the bathrooms with access to the pool area, easily used from outside.
One of the bedrooms is located at the entrance, being suitable for using it as an office.
The project´s main premise was to solve the building on one floor, reduce the plot´s unevenness, and locate the pool area at the back of the house, facing south.
In order to do this, a height of two meters above street level was taken and a platform containing the ground was created at the back.
On this level, the house is organized in three volumes that embrace a central courtyard of square proportions.
The first volume, with a chamfered roof, generates an access porch to the house and after the entrance hall, the bedrooms and bathrooms are organized to be opened to the east. The corridor and hall are oriented to the west facade.
The other two volumes, covered with concrete slabs with different inclinations, contain the day rooms, and function as the central core of the house.
Inside, a porthole frames the views and a large hollow with sliding doors opens onto the central patio and covered porch.
In this space, the living room with the fireplace can be found and, in the third volume, the kitchen covers two spaces, a balcony towards the main facade and a porch towards the pool, which functions as an outdoor dining room.
