The house is located in a small mountain village in northeastern Spain, in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The small plot is compensated by endless views of the surrounding landscape all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. The context defines the concept of the house. The rooms interact with the landscape through strategically placed window openings, which not only bring in light and air but also frame the natural surroundings. 
The compact mass with a gable roof and traditional material solutions respects the mountain architecture of Catalonia. 
The house is typologically divided into a sleeping area on the first floor and a active area on the ground floor, which is dominated by panoramic glazing with a veranda. The veranda space forms an indefinite interface between the interior and the garden, allowing the landscape to flow freely.
