Located in front of the Sotogrande golf course, the layout of this house invites us to experience the shadow between the ground plane and the roof that extends over it. A generous roof cantilever that not only offers shelter from the intense sun of Cadiz, but also protects from the copious rains that descend from the Sierra de Grazalema, the place with the highest rainfall in the Iberian Peninsula.
In the deep interior of the building, a wooden volume is generated, giving the rooms the necessary privacy while providing the desired warmth in every corner. Four different limits emerge that define the spatiality of the house: the ground plane, the shadow generated by the architectural cantilever, the glass that allows efficient climatic conditioning of the interior, and finally, the cozy limit of the wood.
Access to the house is from the upper street, a strategic point that offers a privileged view of the water mirror and the landscape. This feature in the roof works as thermal and acoustic insulation.
