The ensemble was not one building but several — built at different times, with different heights and footprints, as almost always happens in houses that grew alongside those who lived in them. The proposal refused to unify them: each volume keeps its scale and its place, and it is from that difference that the accommodation emerges.
Beside water, the landscape sets its own rules: the slope decides the levels, the reservoir decides where one looks. To integrate is not to disappear — it is to accept that pre-existing order and let the ensemble go on belonging to the place where it has always stood.
