The project consists of making a musician’s studio coexist with his home. It is located in a residential area near Valencia, where neighboring houses are very close to each other.

It is decided to generate a semi-buried volume on the ground floor that configures the recording studio. A concrete enclosure, within another concrete enclosure, with highly studied acoustics. This volume divides the ground floor into the entrance hall and the public area of the house, open to the garden and the pool. This level is materialized with natural cement mortars, in their gray materiality, both the exterior as well as the pavement and the pool.
On top of this level, a volume with the night area is deposited, materialized with white lime mortars. Apparently closed to the environment, but open on its fifth facade to its adjoining gardens. A kind of intimate patios where you can enjoy nature and silence.

El proyecto consiste en hacer convivir el estudio de un músico con su vivienda. Ubicado en una zona de viviendas cerca de Valencia, donde las casas vecinas están muy próximas entre ellas. 

Se decide generar en planta baja un volumen semienterrado que configura el estudio de grabación. Un recinto de hormigón, dentro de otro recinto de hormigón, con una acústica muy estudiada. Este volumen divide la planta baja en el hall de acceso y la zona pública de la vivienda, abierta al jardín y a la piscina. Este nivel se materializa con morteros de cemento naturales, en su materialidad gris, tanto el exterior como los pavimentos y la piscina. 

Sobre este nivel se deposita una planta con la zona de noche materializada con morteros de cal blancos. Aparentemente cerrada frente al entorno, pero abierta en su quinta fachada a sus jardines colindantes. Una suerte de íntimos patios en los que poder disfrutar de la naturaleza y del silencio.
