This house stands where a wall once divided. For years, this wall marked the edge of a vineyard, a clear line between cultivation and wilderness. But as the vineyard gave way to reclaimed land, the wall's purpose faded. Now a house is taking its place. Not to divide, but to inhabit the boundary itself.
The design follows the land, a slope that drops meter by meter. Three tower-like volumes rise from the ground, their walls solid and unyielding, made of monolithic insulating brick. These are the private spaces: bedrooms, places of retreat. They are compact, efficient and warmed from within.
Surrounding all this is the boundary layer. It stretches like a skin, enveloping the house in light and air. Elsewhere it opens completely, blurring the line between inside and outside. Together, the towers, the common spaces, and the boundary layer form a whole, belonging to the slope, the light, and the air.
