A piece of land, where the rocks, the earth, the sun, the wind and the sea are the main characters.

The challenge: to build a refuge witch its main purpose is to define a new space between its interior and the environment. Just a protection to experience nature.

A big roof generates an intermediate place, an observatory. The living room and bedrooms, facing the sea, define the long shape. Every room has the faculty to close their windows to protect from the desert cold and the wind. However, its principal state is open, belonging to its context.
