Step Maze is a private residence designed for a family of five and their dog, located on a trapezium-shaped corner plot. The home's design maximizes light and breeze from two street-facing sides, incorporating louvers and jaalis for privacy and shading. Each space offers visual vistas of the adjacent sides.

Two oak trees, a sheet of water and the horizon are the pre-existing elements in this plot, which influence the position and formal configuration of the house. The presence of this vegetation in the foreground, and the Pedrezuela Reservoir in the background, forces the house's floor plan to adjust its geometry to these elements.

The house is conditioned by the size of the allotment, but motivated by an existing slope, useful even in the elimination of an uninteresting and inconvenient environment, implanted at a higher level. The strategy involves confronting and reconciling artificial and natural data.
