From a remainder stone wall of an old construction pops up a contemporary house over to the sea. Indeed, this new volume was designed to improve its urban grid where it is settled. The housing deterioration, seen at the neighboring, contrasts with the new volume, creating a relationship between the house and the surroundings. The proposal volumetric object is a result, thus, from the sea views, contrasting with the main’s street opaque façade, together with the function program given by the client.
