conversion of a house in cortes, alegrete, into a rural tourism unit in the country-house category. the new programme — three bedrooms, living room and support kitchen — is organised around a central hall with overhead light, joined by a covered transition entrance and a terrace for contemplating the landscape. the existing construction, today fragmented into several volumes and roofs, is unified under a single gabled roof in timber and portuguese tile, and the floors are regularised into just two levels. the gross floor area is kept, offsetting the new spaces by demolishing storage areas. lime on the walls, handmade tile joining inside and out, anthracite-grey frames and an infinity pool — preserving the masonry benches as a memory of the place.
