The house intends to break with the housing prototype built in the surroundings, it seeks to differentiate itself by adopting two levels that avoids a reading as a static block and achieves, by contrast, a fluid horizontality. This allows us to play with the scale of the project through orthogonal planes that define the levels of the house. On the lateral facade predominates a suspended wall that runs the entire length of the lot, that contrasts with the lower broken plinth.
Elsa Ram rez
This facade, like the rear facade, is closed to the surroundings to give privacy to the social and intimate areas of the house, avoiding views from the neighbors.
Emphasizing this intention, the most striking opening is located solely on the terrace of the front facade that allows a more direct relationship with the environment.
Elsa Ram rez
To take advantage of the views, the living room, dining room, kitchen, terrace, pool, and main bedroom are located on the second level. Secondary bedrooms, living room, and service are located on the first level, where there is also an access courtyard that distributes into a hall directed to the stairs, to achieve a more direct connection between the two levels.

Football Premier-league: David Moyes appointed Manchester …
By talkSPORT1 | Wednesday, May 8, 2013
David Moyes is the new manager of Manchester United.
The Everton boss has agreed to move to Old Trafford and will join the club at the end of the season.
Moyes’ future has been in doubt for several months, after his refusal to sign a new deal on Merseyside and, following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement,2 the Red Devils have acted quickly to land the former Preston chief.
The Scot has been at Goodison Park for 11 years but has only an FA Cup runners-up medal, from 2009, to his name and has no experience in the Champions League proper.
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho had been stongly linked to the post but it appears the board at Old Trafford have decided the 50-year-old former Celtic defender is the right man to lead the club forward.

Burton v Bradford – live League Two play-offs
Follow Sportsmail’s coverage of the League Two play-offs as Burton host Bradford at the Pirelli Stadium in the second leg of their semi-final.
Gary Rowett’s team hold the advantage after snatching a 3-2 victory at the Coral Windows Stadium in the first leg and will be favourites to book a Wembley final playing on home turf.
The Bantams have already been to Wembley once this season as Capital One Cup finalists but will have to upset the odds again to book a return trip to London.
Burton Albion 0 Bradford City 0 (Agg: 3-2) Burton Albion: Tomlinson, O’Connor, Sharps, Holness, McCrory, Diamond, MacDonald, McGrath, Weir, Maghoma, Zola Substitutes: Lyness, Webster, Phillips, Paterson, Drury, Kee, Symes Bradford City: McLaughlin, Darby, McArdle, Davies, Meredith, Thompson, Jones, Doyle, Reid, Wells, Hanson Substitutes: Duke, Ravenhill, Atkinson, McHugh, Connell, Hines, Nelson Referee: Graham Scott (Oxfordshire) 18min Painful one for MacDonald, who clatters through one of the advertising hoardings.
Lucky he adjusted his body shape, otherwise he could easily have been injured there.
16min Chance for Burton – Zola comes deep and then tucks a through ball to McCrory.
His cross comes to MacDonald, who heads towards goal and forces McLaughlin into a block.
There were four Bradford defenders behind him on the line, so unlikely it was going in.
15min Zola shows his strength in the air to nod down Stuart Tomlinson’s goal kick in the direction of MacDonald.
John McLaughlin is alert for Bradford and runs out to collect the ball.
13min MacDonald sends a high corner to the back post, with Calvin Zola clambering all over Andrew Davies to try to get to it.
Free-kick alleviates the pressure for Bradford.
9min Bradford enjoying a good spell on the ball, a move that ends with Reid shanking a poor shot high and wide from the edge of the box.
A reminder that away goals don’t count in the play-offs, so a 1-0 Bradford win would mean extra time.
7min This is a bittersweet occasion for Alex MacDonald, whose loan from Burnley expires before the play-off final, so he won’t be able to play at Wembley should Burton make it.
He plays a ball over the top which Zola isn’t quite able to control in the box.
C’mon City! The Bradford City Gent whips up the travelling supporters before kick-off at Burton 5min The Bradford fans are in excellent voice despite what must have been an early Sunday start to travel down from West Yorkshire.
4min Burton have obviously identified the threat of Kyel Reid down the left – they’re doubling up on him every time he touches the ball.
2min Nathan Doyle making his presence felt with a high foot on Calvin Zola, which the striker wasn’t too pleased about.
Free-kick to Burton wide on the left…
Alex MacDonald sends the set-piece to the far post and Ian Sharps nearly connected with a header.
1min Burton straight on the offensive as Maghoma strikes narrowly wide of the near post after working some space 20 yards from goal.
Shades of the opening to the first leg as the Brewers make the early running.
KICK-OFF! Managers Gary Rowett and Phil Parkinson shakes hands on the touchline, as Burton prepare to get us underway, shooting towards the 2,000 away fans behind the goal.
11.58am The stadium is packed to the rafters, with the home fans behind the goal launching yellow streamers onto the top of the goal as the teams walked out.
11.57am The two teams emerge into a brilliant atmosphere at the Pirelli Stadium for this High Noon clash.
Burton are in their familiar home colours of yellow and black, Bradford in their change strip of pink shirts, white shorts and socks.
11.55am Whoever prevails here will take on either Cheltenham Town or Northampton Town, who play their second leg this evening with the Cobblers leading 1-0.
11.46am Less than 15 minutes to go until kick-off in Burton and here’s a reminder of the TEAM NEWS: Calvin Zola, who scored twice in the first leg,is passed fit to start for Burton despite being withdrawn from the action early on Thursday.
With Lee Bell suspended, Gary Rowlett’s other forward-thinking options on the bench are Billy Kee, Michael Symes and Matt Paterson.
Bradford’s Andrew Davies returns from suspension to take his place in the defence, with Michael Nelson making way.
Kyel Reid passes a fitness test on a groin injury to make the starting XI.
The full line-ups are in the green box at the top of this article.
11.43am Bradford, of course, need to win here to advance to the Wembley final, but they don’t have a good record at the Pirelli Stadium – they’ve drawn two and lost two of their previous four visits.
The Brewers are in excellent form, with their home advantage carrying them into the play-off places.
They’re bidding for a fifth successive home win today.
Phil Parkinson’s men, meanwhile, will need to become the ninth side to overcome a first leg deficit in the play-offs at League Two level in order to make Wembley for the second time this season.
11.41am This fixture has certainly captured the imagination in the Derbyshire town, with all tickets sold.
Bradford fans were queuing overnight on Friday to get their hands on one of the away allocation tickets and the whole lot was gone within hours of the ticket office opening on Saturday morning.
11.38am I’m sure many of you caught the action, but if not here’s a reminder of what happened in the first leg at Valley Parade as Calvin Zola’s double helped Burton to victory.
11.30am Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the League Two play-off semi-final, second leg between Burton Albion and Bradford City from the Pirelli Stadium.
Following a pulsating game on Thursday night in Yorkshire, it’s Burton who sit in the box seat after claiming a 3-2 victory.
However, Bradford, who were Capital One Cup finalists so memorably earlier in the season, will be inspired by the prospect of a Wembley return ticket and are sure to be piling on the pressure to overturn that deficit.
We start with the two team line-ups for this midday kick-off: Burton Albion: Tomlinson, O’Connor, Sharps, Holness, McCrory, Diamond, MacDonald, McGrath, Weir, Maghoma, Zola Substitutes: Lyness, Webster, Phillips, Paterson, Drury, Kee, Symes Bradford City: McLaughlin, Darby, McArdle, Davies, Meredith, Thompson, Jones, Doyle, Reid, Wells, Hanson Substitutes: Duke, Ravenhill, Atkinson, McHugh, Connell, Hines, Nelson Referee: Graham Scott (Oxfordshire) Semi-final showdown: Burton have a 3-2 advantage when they host Bradford at the Pirelli Stadium

Football Premier-league: Sir Alex Ferguson: Manchester United …
By talkSPORT1 | Friday, May 3, 2013
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that Manchester United are planning on signing up to two players this summer.
Wilfried Zaha will become a United player on July 1 but beyond that, Ferguson plans to be active in the market.
Numerous high profile names – like Radamel Falcao and Robert Lewandowski – have been mooted and although Ferguson has not named names, he says he is working hard on adding to his title-winning squad.
“We’ve been doing that planning for next season for a while,” Ferguson said.
“Your scouting goes on for the full season, actually sometimes two seasons when you maybe monitor a younger player.
“You want to see how he does the next season. That is the process we go through. We ve got some ideas where we re going and hopefully we can conclude them.
“We’ll look at one or two bodies to come in.
You ve got to remember there are a lot of young players we expect to improve and take that into consideration. And you have to consider ages of players and protect that part. In the main, we re know where we are.
We re comfortable.”

Manic Street Preachers Australian “rugby” tour
Wed 1st May, 2013 in Local News1
Welsh alt-rockers the Manic Street Preachers2 have announced two Australian shows, for no other reason than to watch a couple of rugby games while they are here.
Last here in 2010 following the release of their 10th studio album Postcards From A Young Man3, The Preachers have announced their return to coincide with the forthcoming test matches between the Australian Wallabies and the British and Irish Lions. Drawing a fairly long bow, the self proclaimed massive rugby fans said that the tour will be a great chance for them to watch some sport and play a selection of our greatest hits to our Australian fans and the thousands of Lions fans travelling down under .
Although sports lovers shouldn t expect any Meatloaf-style half time entertainment4 from The Preachers, as both shows are scheduled to happen the night before each rugby match on Friday, June 28 at Festival Hall in Melbourne and Friday, July 5 at The Hordern in Sydney.
Attending their last Australia show in Sydney, FL wrote, They played one of their aces if not their ace of spades by giving us Motorcycle Emptiness near the start of the set. Faces lit up, middle aged arms were thrown aloft and terrace sing-a-longs ensued.
It is one of those great songs where the vocal melody is matched by the excellence of the central guitar riff and they nailed it.
Supporting the Manic Street Preachers at both shows will be Brisbane s Hungry Kids of Hungary5.
Friday, June 28 Festival Hall, MelbourneFriday, July 5 Hordern Pavilion, Sydney
Tickets on sale Friday, May 10 at 10am.

Manchester City must not repeat last summer’s errors Roberto Mancini
Manchester City’s manager, Roberto Mancini, wants to avoid a repeat of last summer when he missed out on his top targets.
Photograph: Ian Kington/AFP/Getty Images Roberto Mancini has warned that Manchester City’s chances of success in the Premier League and Champions League next season depend on not repeating the mistakes of last summer’s recruitment drive.
He believes it is “impossible” to sell players before buying, as was the policy, with Mancini pointing to Bayern Munich, who after securing the Bundesliga have agreed to purchase Borussia Dortmund’s Mario G tze.
In the last close season Mancini missed out on his five first-choice targets of Robin van Persie, Eden Hazard, Javi Mart nez, Daniele De Rossi and Daniel Agger, and was forced to settle for Jack Rodwell, Scott Sinclair, Matija Nastasic, Javi Garc a and Maicon.
Nastasic apart, all have struggled to establish themselves in the Italian’s team, and Mancini urged the City hierarchy, which is led by Ferran Soriano, the chief executive, and Txiki Begiristain, the director of football, to act swiftly this summer.
“It’s important that we work well,” said Mancini.
“From now to August 30 the close of the transfer window, we must work well and not like last year.
Maybe we can do better because for two years we worked well, we had our targets and we got our targets.
Three years ago we wanted to get to the Champions League and we got the Champions League and won the FA Cup.
Last year we wanted to fight for the title and we won the title.
This year we didn’t work well but this hasn’t been a bad season and, if we win the FA Cup, it is a good season.
It’s not important only to work well on the pitch, it’s important you start to work well.” Mancini, asked if securing his prime targets was the crucial factor for success next season, said: “Yes.
It’s important not to make a mistake on new players.
We need to do everything well.” Has the board learned from last summer? “We are people and we can make mistakes,” said the manager.
“No one wants to make mistakes but it can happen.
It’s important that we know last year we didn’t work well and I hope that this year we can improve this.
We have a good relationship for this.
We’ve talked about the squad all the time that we can talk about the future, the players, but it’s important that we work well.” Regarding the previous strategy of selling before buying, Mancini said: “This is impossible.
Like you saw in the last week at Bayern Munich taking G tze the best team in this moment with Borussia.
I’ve read that Bar a need six players Bar a! We need to add to our team.” Bayern have criticised City for their lavish-spending approach to building a successful club.
Yet despite Bayern agreeing to pay the 32m buy-out clause to acquire G tze and their interest in taking another of Dortmund’s best players, Robert Lewandoski, Mancini refused to return this criticism.
“It’s not important.
In football it’s good because all the people asked how it’s possible that City don’t win the title after spending a lot of money,” he said.
“There are other teams that spend more than us but this is football.” Mancini also praised the approach of Manchester United in taking the title from City.
“They have a better attitude,” said the manager.
“We need to improve our attitude in some games and continue to work because in the end if we get second and we’re in the FA Cup final, that’s not a bad season.” For Saturday’s visit of West Ham United Mancini expects a stern challenge.
“It will be difficult, they are a physical team.
Andy Carroll is a strong striker,” he said.

Southampton v West Bromwich Albion: squad sheets
It is hard to tell which of these teams are sitting in the top half of the table and which, up until recently, were caught up in the battle for Premier League survival.
Southampton are fourth in the form table, behind only Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, with Jay Rodriguez and Ricky Lambert currently playing with an almost telepathic understanding in attack.
West Brom, meanwhile, have won only one of their last six matches with their cause not helped by the ongoing absence of Chris Brunt and the suspended Youssuf Mulumbu.
