Located on the main street of a town near Valencia, the house is part of a fragment of 20th century history.
The existing façade and building footprint are protected, but the volume exceeds the needs of the new project. Faced with this situation, it is proposed to empty the interior space in ruins and show it in an innovative way. From the outside, the façade maintains its character, without modifying the street, which becomes a kind of scenery from another era. The tone of this old façade is unified with an antelope gray treatment that goes completely unnoticed.
Crossing the threshold we find ourselves in another time. Only what is necessary is closed and air-conditioned and a triple-height volume is generated that in a climate like the Mediterranean we can use throughout the year. The day area is located close to the dividing wall, in continuity with a pool large enough to swim, which seems to get lost in the Valencian fields. The guest room and the multipurpose room resolve the change of direction that the site offers, a twist between two pieces separated by just a few millimeters.
The rest of the space on this floor is empty, which will make us wonder about the size of a room whose depth of landscape seems to have no limits.
The night area is arranged transversally as a bridge framing the views. The master bedroom is located above the living room with the same orientation. The section gives us a floor plan with sloping roofs with an entrance of light from above, a space that time will put to use.
The wood from the old beams of the house in ruins is reused to build the furniture of the house, and just as it has been sought with the space of the house, it becomes a material that acquires a new life.

Ubicada en la calle mayor de una población cercana a Valencia, la vivienda forma parte de un fragmento de la historia del siglo XX. La fachada y la huella del edifico existentes se encuentran protegidos, pero el volumen supera las necesidades del nuevo proyecto. Ante esta situación se propone vaciar el espacio interior en ruinas y mostrarlo de forma innovada. Desde el exterior la fachada mantiene su carácter, sin modificar la calle, que se transforma en una especie de escenografía de otra época. Se unifica el tono de esta antigua fachada con un tratamiento gris antílope que pasa totalmente inadvertido. Al cruzar el umbral nos encontramos en otro tiempo. Se cierra y climatiza solo lo necesario y se genera un volumen en triple altura que en un clima como el mediterráneo podemos utilizar durante todo el año. La zona de día se junta a la medianera, en continuidad con una piscina con dimensión suficiente para nadar, que parece perderse en la huerta valenciana. Resolviendo el giro que el solar tiene en planta se encuentran la habitación de invitados y la sala polivalente, un giro entre dos piezas separadas a penas por unos milímetros. El resto del espacio en esta planta se encuentra vacío, lo que nos hará preguntarnos por la dimensión de un salón cuya profundidad de paisaje parece no tener límites. La zona de noche se dispone transversalmente a modo de puente enmarcando las vistas. La habitación principal se ubica sobre el salón con su misma orientación. La sección nos regala una planta con cubiertas inclinadas con una entrada de luz cenital, un espacio al que el tiempo dará su uso. La madera de las antiguas vigas de la vivienda en ruinas se reutilizan para construir el mobiliario de la casa, y al igual que se ha buscado con el espacio de la vivienda, se convierte en un material que adquiere una nueva vida.
