The second project of the semester, will continue the topic and the study of the place that the first one (Weaver's house) in Caldes d'Estrac (Catalunya). The structure as a way to learn how to project is going to mark the firsts steps of the project one more time.
This time the structure is going to consist in a framework method, that combined with the parts of the program we should afford, we can develope a complete project in terms of function and form.

Ground floor
The relation between the interior courtyard and the big garden we had in the south of our plot is the high challenge. In urban facade (north), the workshop of the sculptress gets all the protagonism, letting the house zone be in the most relaxed space between those courtyards.
1st Flat Floor
An intense use during the day on the ground floor, is tranformed in a world of terraces and relax upstairs. The bedrooms and a little but comfortable loft in the workshop volume are the most important pieces in this plant, considering the pavilion near the beach as a puntual intervention.
3 volumes = 3 parts of the project = 3 different relations with the environment
