A concrete house arranged around a gravel courtyard and one Japanese maple, with every room looking onto it.

Tomás drew the house as four concrete wings around a courtyard, so every room has a garden view and the street sees only a wall. Full-height glazing slides away in summer.

Inside, the palette is the concrete itself, pale timber and paper light, with a round window in the study framing the hills.
