Located on the beach of Cabo de Plata, known as the Beach of the Germans on the Andalusian coast of Tarifa, there is an uneven place with a horizontal view over the Atlantic Ocean.

To optimize the vision of the landscape, a series of slender spaces are intertwined as they adapt to the descending topography. Each of these pieces is deposited half a floor below the previous one. This way, its alternating arrangement allows all the spaces to have a direct view over the beach.
This form of aggregation minimizes its presence in the landscape, and adapts to the slope as a sort of ladder. A system of terraces that produces continuous interiors. To the southwest we find the views over the landscape, to the northeast there are enclosed courtyards and gardens that thanks to the natural ventilation mitigate the hot days and give shelter from the winds that characterize Tarifa.
The program is organized in half-levels, each piece corresponds to a different use. The main bedroom is located at the top. Half floor below the day zone is arranged at an intermediate level, while the rest of the bedrooms are placed at the bottom.
In the intersection between the pieces is located the communications core, with smooth ladders, almost ramps. This central space proposes a route through different spaces with a great spatial heterogeneity, a walk that allows us to continue through the roof generating the fiction of a loop, a walk that we could imagine as limitless.

Ubicada en la Playa del Cabo de Plata, conocida como la Playa de los Alemanes en la costa Andaluza de Tarifa, se encuentra un lugar en desnivel con una vista horizontal sobre el océano Atlántico. Para optimizar la visión sobre el paisaje se entrelaza una serie de espacios esbeltos que se adaptan a la topografía descendente. Cada una de estas piezas se deposita media planta por debajo de la anterior, así su disposición alterna permite a todos los espacios tener una visión directa sobre la playa. Esta forma de agregación minimiza la presencia en el paisaje, y se ajusta a la pendiente como una suerte de escalera. Un sistema de bancales que produce unos interiores pasantes. Al suroeste se encuentran las vistas, al nordeste aparecen unos patios acotados y ajardinados que gracias a las ventilación natural mitigan los días de calor y ayudan a refugiarse de los vientos que caracterizan a Tarifa. El programa se organiza en seminiveles, cada pieza es un uso diferenciado del programa. La habitación principal se encuentra arriba, media planta después se dispone la zona de día en una cota intermedia, descendiendo las habitaciones… En el punto de intersección entre las piezas se ubica el núcleo de comunicaciones, con escaleras de trazado suave, casi rampas. Este espacio central propone un recorrido a través de espacios con una gran heterogeneidad espacial, un paseo que permite continuar por las cubiertas generando la ficción de un bucle, un paseo que podríamos imaginar que no tiene limites.
