The House in The Olive Grove is a building whose main compositional feature is the dialogue with the landscape. It is placed at the highest point of the site in order to capture the view of the horizon and develops linearly, on an north-south axis, parallel to the layout of the pre-existing olive grove. Its form is governed by simple, clean and horizontal lines with momentary vertical flares. Form and program are organically interwoven without one dominating the other, while clear boundaries are set between man-made and natural, with specific access points, separating the architecture from its surroundings in three dimensions.
