10 x 10 House is a minimal residence located in Seville, Spain, designed by Sol89. The geometry of the site where the house is located, a square ten meters on a side with three dividing walls and a south-facing façade, suggested moving the collection of small active spaces to the perimeter of the site, freeing the center of the square for main spaces that will be protected by a double belt of storage and facilities.

A quarter of the interior square is reserved for the patio to which the living room-kitchen and the master bedroom are turned, the other three bedrooms are protected from the southern sunlight and the immediacy of the street by the loggia made up of thick skin. In the access to the house, the unfolding of the façade generates a hallway where one can leave bicycles.

This space reconciles the meeting between the public and the private. The double façade makes it possible to provide the precise scale to the openings of the domestic interior and the urban exterior, each face responding to the desired functional or figurative requirements. Finally, the roof terrace is conceived as a place to celebrate and meet with friends and family, so the architects proposed to reach this floor with a certain independence from the rest of the house.
