Alegría Zorrilla and Claudia Olalla carry out a simple lookout house, integrated in a mountainous area of a certain slope. The roof is presented as a continuation of the hillside itself.
It is characterized by being formed by two rectangular pads, rotated with respect to each other. The first one incorporate the living room and the kitchen, while in the other are installed the rooms and the bathroom. This form helps to take advantage of natural light and cross ventilation as much as possible.

Description of project by Alegría Zorrilla and Claudia Olalla
The proposal is located in the urban limit of Anguiano, a mountainous town of La Rioja. The project adopts the system of terraces of the environment with the objective of integrating into the landscape. The house is developed between two walls, it protects itself from the furtive looks and at the same time guarantees the views of the landscape from inside, the green roof becomes a new viewpoint extending the garden.
The stone walls are formed by the “bolos” of stone characteristic of the area and allow its inhabitants, a family of climbers, to practice climbing.
The interior pavement formed by a hydraulic tile of the Zelart brand, solves the interior of the house; it rises to solve the kitchen front and extends solving the bathroom.
