The article presents information related to a rural house in Andalusia, Spain by Emilio Ambasz. Two tall white walls rising from a green sea of grass like sails to capture breezes and reflect the sun down into or shade it from, a sunken courtyard. The house crowns a headland projecting into a manmade lake in the Sierra de Seville, a range of low, verdant mountains dotted with evergreen oaks. The patio floor, like that of the ambulatory behind the arcade and the interior visible through the glazing beyond, is in smooth white marble lightly streaked in grey.
