# House # 1.130 is a single-family house, with over 5 hundred square meters, formed from two different schemes superimposed one on top the other that generated a fractured mass, ruled by the rhythm of the roof structure. It is a "formless project" in the sense that is impossible getting any volumetric understanding as spectator, also because of the camouflage of the permeable skin with the concrete.

Description of the project by estudio.entresitio.
This is a single-family house, but quite a large one, something over 5 hundred square meters, site is narrow and long and sloped towards south.
Two different schemes superimposed one on top the other; a longitudinal one, based on spatial forking, and the one underneath, based on a hand fingers like configuration. As a result, it is a fractured mass, ruled by the rhythm of the roof structure.
Some other important things are the growth against the slope, entrance through the umbilicus and permeable skins that thicken space boundaries. Upper level is a daytime pavilion with a metal roof structure that goes all the way through in visual continuity, with long views through a sequence of spaces.
Concrete supporting walls and glass enclosure are the other two vertical elements, blurring the idea of interior and exterior.
Rooms below are burrow like, with nested openings in between them.
As for the floor plan solution, structure above combs space in a single direction, transversal to movement while below, penetrations fragment the volume bringing light deep inside the built mass.
It is a formless project in the sense that is impossible getting any volumetric understanding as spectator, also because of the camouflage of the permeable skin with the concrete, dynamic in perception because of light.
The permeable skin follows the same rhythm in pattern of vertical lines as the concrete surfaces; is not only about the absence of frames, supporting elements are secondary and intentionally hidden and as thin as possible, also for the moveable parts. It is an inhabitable porous enclosure, made by superimposition of multiple layer with different density and permeability and therefore, different degrees of interiority.
For this project we have been not only the architects but also the general contractor; this time, not only the art or process of building was in our hands but the act of physical construction.

The practice has extensive building experience with an emphasis on public work that utilizes novel solutions to the functional and necessary without sacrificing the creative or exploratory.
International award wining firm, was selected in 2007 as Design Vanguard by Architectural Record helping its work to be published and seen in many countries. Entresitio’s constructed work has received more than 30 awards and honourable mentions. The firm participated in the 10th and 11th Spanish Biennial, the 7th BIAU (Iberoamerican Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism), twice in the Venice Bienale (2000 and 2006), the Barbara Cappochin Biennale 2011 and more, and received the ArchDaily “Building of the Year 2012” in the health care category, for its healthcare centers trilogy of San Blas+Usera+Villaverde, Madrid.
Maria and César work together since 1993, Jose Maria joined them in 2003 after 4 years of working for Rafael Moneo and Alvar enter the studio in 2007.
Both Maria and César teach architectural design on regular basis, César at Madrid School of Architecture (ETSAM) and Maria in the US, currently at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) after a couple of semesters at Cornell University.
