The house has a collective dimension. As a gesture of inclusion and an invitation for social interaction, the roof is made into a public space accessible to local children. Visiting children are attracted by its unusual geometric form and the house becomes an important attraction and play-space in the neighbourhood. There is an intentional element of confrontation between the public and the private areas of the house.

The house is not handed over in a finished state, rather, it is inhabited by its owners throughout its various stages of completion. Their everyday activities are transferred to their new positions in the new house, while retaining certain spacial relationships which remain important to its inhabitants and their way of life. The proud new owners of the house, in turn, play an active role in weaving its walls and furniture in order to complete it.

The house works as a domestic landscape for people with reduced mobility. There is a support handrail which runs along the multitude of vectors of the house, this allows Luz Marina to wander freely inside and outside the house, to the external patios, on any route she chooses.
