The first is to enhance the views from each level of the house: the ground floor, which contains the daytime areas, is oriented towards the garden, while the upper floor, where the nighttime areas are located, opens up to a nearby lake, visible only from that height. The second reason is to provide shaded outdoor spaces, essential for protection from Madrid’s intense sun. The rotation between the volumes generates covered terraces. The third reason, perhaps more subjective but equally relevant, is to give the house its identity. The inclination between the volumes creates shifting triangular shadows throughout the day, adding dynamism.

Each of the bodies is built with two solid structural sides, while the other two are left completely open, which facilitates orientation and north–south cross ventilation. The circulation core is laid out transversally, dividing the rear part —more public— due to its relation to a neighboring dwelling situated at a higher level.
