Built on a narrow, elongated plot typical of Las Palmas’ historic centre, the house reworks the conventional layout of Gran Canaria’s traditional homes. Instead of placing the patio at the centre, SOCO Estudio shifts it towards the rear, allowing the staircase to occupy the depth of the plan as a vertical spine. This move allows each floor to be configured as a sequence of open, loosely defined rooms, notably without formal divisions such as doors, so that functions can overlap, expand or recede as needed.

The ground floor houses an open-plan studio that gathers workspace, lounge and utility areas together. On the first floor, the kitchen and dining area face the street while the living room looks onto the patio at the back, opening onto a balcony that descends to the courtyard below by way of a spiral staircase. The private quarters occupy the floor above. Throughout, the fluid configuration keeps domestic life programmatically loose while drawing daylight deep into the narrow floorplan, aided by floor-to-ceiling glazing and a skylight above the stairwell. The same logic extends upwards to the roof terrace, or azotea, a traditional feature of Canarian domestic life used for work, leisure and gathering.
