In its small size, the house wants to be a palace for its users, affirming this noble character through an extreme simplicity in its organisation and a rigorous traditional construction of its volume. Thus, on the outside, the house appears as a simple prismatic volume with a square floor plan, sixteen metres on each side, built with walls of quartzite stone from Cáceres. On each side there are three window openings, measuring two metres and ten centimetres, framed with warm-toned Extremaduran granite stone. Inside, there are nine cubic rooms, four metres and twenty centimetres on each side, which can accommodate the different uses of the dwelling: living rooms, bedrooms, kitchen and dining room. Between these rooms are located all the servant spaces of the house, such as the wardrobes and the toilets.

Each of the nine rooms is built in two distinct layers: A lower layer formed by a glass of oak planks, where all the installations of the house will be located, and an upper layer formed by a white concrete trough, in which no type of mechanism or lighting system will be located.
