The house is located in Villa Adelina, a neighbourhood in the north area of suburban Buenos Aires, where great commercial activities, industries and housing coexist. The construction is close to the street, in a lot where the central area is already occupied by a prefabricated house. The characteristics of the buildings nearby determine the position of the new house. Towards one side, an industrial building generates a 10 metre-high division wall that is used to structure the house lengthwise while orientating all the interior spaces towards the garden of the opposite field. A metal tray runs the entire length of the structure, becoming a shell for new vegetation that gazes from the inside and seems to merge with the neighbouring garden.
