Rough red clay gives this hillside house a continuous sculpted surface. The walls curve into the porch columns and roof edges, while two small chimneys rise from the same warm material. Oval windows sit deep within the upper floor, their dark frames following the rounded openings. An outside stair climbs beside the entrance with a thick curved parapet, and the porch provides a shaded place for a wooden table and chairs. Small variations in colour and texture make the clay feel fired, weathered and substantial.

Agaves, low herbs and small white flowers grow between the boulders at the front of the house. Their sharp leaves and fine stems contrast with the broad rounded walls. A dark stone path curves toward the porch, with hills visible beyond the garden and olive branches entering from above. Soft cloudy light keeps the rough surface legible across both sunward and shaded areas. The unoccupied view gives the building room to show its central idea: a home shaped as one connected piece of earthy material.
