A beach house for a couple and their 3 teenage children to share with friends in summertime. The seaside resort of Reta is a coastal locality with a sea separated from the town by dunes that were fixed through tamarisks, cortaderas, pampas grass, cat’s claws, and sectors of unfixed dunes that move from the West to the East by the action of the winds. These dunes do not stop their growth in height: as a wild, hard landscape, without the intervention of the hand of man, it becomes a potential of the land. We decided to locate the house preserving nature; the decision not to alter it led us to study the gaps and the best views within the lot. We found an area on the lot far from the only access that in turn enjoyed the best views of the place. This location had, among other advantages, an orientation that protected it from the strong SW winds due to the existence of a grove of trees planted years ago by a neighbor. These winds, which come across from the sea in winter and autumn, bring sand storms from the SW, which reinforce the need to protect the house.
