The introductory data on this project by young Spanish architects Ruben Alcolea and Jorge Tárrago are common, perhaps even banal – a house for a four-member family on the edge of a small, compact historical town. The first view of the documentation reveals a precisely articulated architecture, precise volumes and a considered, reduced selection of materials.

A contemporary, cultivated architecture, there is nothing to criticize, except for the question: where is the additional value, the conceptual jump, the innovation?
