By removing a single wall, the house opens to the horizon and reorganizes daily life around continuity.

The project transforms a penthouse apartment for an elderly couple by simplifying its spatial organization and improving continuity. Located in Huesca, the dwelling opens to two contrasting landscapes: the Pyrenees to the east and the desert to the west.

The intervention removes an internal wall that previously separated both orientations, freeing the center of the house and creating a continuous living space connected to the terraces. Light becomes the main structuring element, crossing the interior throughout the day and reinforcing the unity of the space.

A system of adjustable aluminium slats regulates light and temperature, while cross ventilation between façades ensures environmental comfort. The project focuses on minimal means to achieve spatial clarity, environmental performance, and a stronger relationship with the surrounding landscape.
