Nuria y Manuel se trasladan al sur desde el norte de España, buscan la luz meridional, el aire de Sanlúcar, vivir una casa. El terreno donde hemos de construir la vivienda está a los pies de una loma, con pendiente orientada hacia la desembocadura lejana del río Guadalquivir que aparece en el horizonte. La casa no debe ser muy grande pero sí permitir una cierta independencia entre estancias que ellos habitarán a diario y otras donde poder acoger a familiares o invitados o donde disponer un espacio de trabajo.

The starting conditions—a plot that is deeper than it is wide with a single frontage open to the road lined with generous acacia trees, a house that does not need to exhaust the buildable area that the regulations allow and the desire to differentiate the work space from the domestic habitat of its owners—, suggest understanding the non-constructed areas as a matter of project that configure an expanded and complementary house to the interior house.

Real de la Almadraba was built in 1929 and, once abandoned in the seventies after four centuries of being dedicated to the art of tuna fishing on the Huelva coast, it was declared BIC (Bien de Interés Cultural, a category of the heritage register in Spain) in 2015. It is located in the protected natural area of Flecha del Rompido, made up of three well-differentiated areas: a residential area formed by a series of buildings situated as a camp where the workers of the Almadraba used to live; the House of the Captain, a building of greater standing and somewhat removed from the rest of the complex; and the set of buildings that allowed the maintenance of fishing gear, made up of the jetty, the diesel cabin, the tar smelting boiler, its chimney, and the tar pit.
