"This house is more like a shop or wine bar or an office ... than a house." It's like we understand that must be a home. The place of undefined, always ready to its definition and redefinition: Enabling space for living.

Housing is not only a refuge against adversity exterior or a form of social appearance or box of their own memories or the inherited ones ... Now more than ever, it aspires to be reflective of our own desires, the active site for leisure or recreational activities and comfortable room for complacency and joy, in short, the place to make possible the various and unpredictable attitudes of contemporary fact. Therefore, the housing must be approached from a stimulating, pluralistic attitude, open and possible, for promoting the independient and different, against to equalizing; the diverse and spontaneous things, compared to the stereotyped; the extent of skilled and flexible vacuum compared to specialized compartmentalization, the alive home, in front of the house like an object; active relationships among people, compared to the neighborhood, the housing landscape in front of the insertion into the landscape. Alternatively, a stimulus to a positive life attitude, uninhibited and creative. A PARTY.
