The house stands on a steeply sloping plot in Miraflores, a small rural village in the district of Muros consisting of a cluster of traditional stone houses and a large number of granaries that once housed and served as drying sheds for the cornfields.

It was originally made up of two adjoining buildings based on the traditional Galician housing layout: the main spaces were the stone stables and the kitchen, with an oven and pantry. Over time, however, a third building was added. The three buildings adapt to the slope, are protected from wind and are almost completely closed off from the imposing views of the Muros estuary, resulting in a compartmentalised interior of small, dark rooms.

The proposal is designed to suit the site: the scale of the rural nucleus, the existing dwelling, the stone material. The 180 degree views of the estuary and sunlight are the parameters considered when planning the project. The project idea highlight its identity, dignifying the pre-existence and creating a flowing indoor space, bathed in light and facing the views.
