  Located in Toledo Mountains, a natural country side environment (oak, cork and jara), meadows, old cork-oaks and olive trees,  the house is situated at a mid-slope level, in a meadow´s glade, safeguarding every existing oaks,… facing the best mountain views.  
     
   "L" shaped building design, sloping roofs over lying cubic volumes extended by overhang elements; a contemporary architectural image friendly with traditional surrounding countryside housing style, it´s accessed through an entrance courtyard bounded by a low brick wall and the building itself.  
     
  The housing program contains an entrance hall connected to kitchen area, living-dining room and library, and a hallway communication with family, service and guest bedrooms. Outdoor covered spaces extension of inner living areas are also accessible from the kitchen.  
     
  We use traditional local materials such as ceramic roof tiles, clear plastered facades with artisan brick walls wrapping the entrance courtyard. The 410 sqm building is developed in a single level, equipped with 120 sqm of porches and designed through a simple structural modulation for an easy construction work.
