some time, the inhabitants of the coast have realized that within the region they can provide shelter to another time and other quality of life than the fact of being exposed to the sea, so it has gradually begun an exodus to these interiors that offer the inhabitant good road connections with the coast, security and a way slower pace of life.

This particular work is located in an area totally planted with avocados. This result we recognize in the commune as the tree of the area and which identifies itself, which is why the site was very careful not to damage them.

The work was created as a custom car on a shoestring budget bounded, which ultimately dictates the material employed. In this sense the choice is wood, since it has greater freedom to work it and not need, in the construction process of a skilled workforce so with this I mean that the wood itself requires no more terminations for element is shown as completed, so carefully presented a table, sanded and varnished can recognize the material in its fullness.

The work was placed in the only area of \u200b\u200bthe plot that was planted and where it was necessary to single out a tree of all who are currently producing. All this creates a totally dense, which has no transparency or rather where large areas are not perceived despite the size of the property. The only scale that you can see is under the foliage of the trees, opening a look when you bend beneath them. Having said this it is proposed that the features of this condition assume horizontal windows, which have the size needed to give to the person who is sitting inside a broader look through the logs.

design obey strict and almost to accommodate local needs. Irrigation of the plots in this sense is a factor, since by using irrigation techniques tended flooded all cloth which leaves the circulation inaccessible, it is for this reason that access is planned from a spring - ranging from terrace the entrance of the property to the house itself from among the trees so high and letting the irrigation ditches pass under.

Internally the property consists of a common area composed of a living room, dining room, a kitchen and a small desk, a bathroom, a bedroom for guests and a master bedroom with double height.

The double height of the house allows despite being a house of small dimensions in plan, the entry is allowed to watch a sky wide pine boards that were bent in order to generate an internal mantle that goes from the master bedroom and finished off in the living room. From this perspective in the living room while you are in a space that is not completed aerially but lost in the master bedroom. In this sense the scale becomes within a vertical look.

Due to the budget drawing of the work was thought from the simplicity As their endings and paths, at this point is important to note that the work was designed to avoid any moldings, cornices or overalls, and a good performance and pre-design, can dispense with those elements that raise any work. All design tended to minimize pinching of parts and wood. With this it is essential to do a good job of surveying which permits one scaling detail to avoid losses and thus the overhead item in the budget.
