Located on the main street of a town near Valencia, the house is part of a fragment of 20th century history. The existing façade and building footprint are protected, but the volume exceeds the needs of the new project. Faced with this situation, it is proposed to empty the interior space in ruins and show it in an innovative way. From the outside, the façade maintains its character, without modifying the street, which becomes a kind of scenery from another era. The tone of this old façade is unified with an antelope gray treatment that goes completely unnoticed.
Crossing the threshold we find ourselves in another time. Only what is necessary is closed and air-conditioned and a triple-height volume is generated that in a climate like the Mediterranean we can use throughout the year. The day area is located close to the dividing wall, in continuity with a pool large enough to swim, which seems to get lost in the Valencian fields. The guest room and the multipurpose room resolve the change of direction that the site offers, a twist between two pieces separated by just a few millimeters.
The rest of the space on this floor is empty, which will make us wonder about the size of a room whose depth of landscape seems to have no limits.
The night area is arranged transversally as a bridge framing the views. The master bedroom is located above the living room with the same orientation. The section gives us a floor plan with sloping roofs with an entrance of light from above, a space that time will put to use.
The Empty House 位於瓦倫西亞附近城鎮的主要街道上，是20世紀歷史的片段。現有的建築外觀及土地面積被列為保護範圍，然而，此項目所需的空間卻超出了現有建築的面積。面對這種情況，首要任務便是清空建築內部，重新佈局，以嶄新的方式呈現出來。維持外觀原有的特點，不改變街道原貌，讓這條街道成為了另一個時代的場景。
這個古老的外觀統一以羚羊灰色基調處理，顯得低調。當我們跨越門檻，會發現自己置身於另一個時代。只有保留必要的室內空間及設置空調，一個三層高的空間因此被創造出來，這樣的氣候條件下（例如：地中海氣候），以四季皆可居住為主要目標，提供一個舒適且適應季節變化的室內環境。白天活動區域接近隔牆，與水池相連，彷彿融入在巴倫西亞田野中。客房及多功能空間，改變了空間方向的變化，這是兩個僅有幾毫米之間的界線扭轉。
將此樓層其餘的空間留白，這讓我們對一個景深近乎沒有極限的房間，感到相當好奇。夜間區域橫向規劃，構成一個景觀的框架。主臥室位於與客廳的正上方，此空間平面圖表現了斜屋頂的形狀，光線由上方引入，透過時間創造了空間。這座古老建築的舊梁木被回收重複利用，取來建造房屋的傢俱，就像是對房子空間規劃的細微考量，它成為了一種重獲新生命的材料物質。
