synopsis : :This house is loctated right in the middle of two olive tree fields, 3m high apart. That is why despite the house is conceived as a traditional patio house in plan, it is stepped in section, adapting itself to the two fields' height difference. The result of this operation is a house that is present on both fields, connecting them as a hinge; And its roof, that surrounds the patio, due to this stepped nature of the house, becomes one continuous spiral surface that serves as a ramp, a roof and a porch all at once : :
