A plot perpendicular to the sea, 250 m long and 18 m wide. The plot, a cultivated area, runs from the beach to a backdrop of ancient ruins, reeds and lemon trees.

The house for a Photographer II is located at the back of the plot. Built on a platform 70 cm above the natural floodplain, three small volumes, irregular in plan and section, establish a dialogue through an empty space with visual leaks. The volumetric decomposition follows the conditions of landscape, construction and light suggested by a painting by Picasso in that area in the Picasso Museum in Paris.

The central void thus becomes the main space of the dwelling, a tense space geometrically shaped in its upper part, through the high opaque bodies of the different pavilions and on the ground plane up to a height of 2.10 m in a continuous place that links the different shaded interior spaces with the views of the sea, the plant background and the living areas on the platform.
