A detached house which takes advantage of the normative limitations for establishing a dialogue between two yards, the front one and the back one, and maximizing the built areas.

Memory of project.
A detached house in Santa Fe in Mexico City. The first conditioning for the solution was give to the client a project which optimizated the built surfaces without give up the program. For achiving so, we face a sort of restrictions which far of limitated us, it will move us to solve the "L" shape of the building with the intention of making the house seems wider with the conexion between the front and the behind garden, maximizating the depth. The remaning space is the compositive edge of the project, a lineal sequence of different character spaces. All the house main spaces are subordinated to this edge and they are added to it visually and phisically through big mobile windows. The colour palette is supported by the authenticity of the materials as the concrete, the oil-wood, the gray limestone and the vegetation.
