The property, located on the northern coast of Tenerife, spans 10,000 m² and originally featured a detached three-story vacation home built in the 1960s. With no notable architectural value, the building caused a strong visual impact on the landscape. Structurally, it was made of reinforced concrete frames and slabs, topped with a hipped tile roof. After decades of exposure to the marine environment and little maintenance, the house was in poor condition.

The renovation aimed to modernize the house, improving comfort, energy efficiency, and landscape integration, without increasing its height or volume. The ground floor was reconfigured as an open-plan day area with living, dining, kitchen, and study spaces. The upper floor includes three bedrooms—one en-suite with terrace and dressing room. The basement, formerly a garage, now hosts a spa and gym, with space reserved for a potential future elevator to improve accessibility.

The project emphasizes a contemporary layout and maximizes views of the ocean and Mount Teide. The original concrete structure is left exposed to reinforce its rhythm and identity. Finishes include polished and washed concrete floors, wooden flooring in bedrooms and library, black microcement in bathrooms, and a combination of mortars and aluminum, steel, and wood for exterior and interior carpentry.
