In "Casa Anaya", the white skin of the interior heals to the exterior when it appears to approach our contact (visual and tactile). The design of the house is based on a work process similar to that of casting in sculpture. Firstly, a base volume is defined, as the result of the needs requested by the client, such as the orientation and uses of the spaces. Then, through a casting process, it is definitively modeled with the purpose of emphasizing the possibilities of solar capture and protection, thus organizing a skin that makes us perceive 'the movement of erosion.'

Both erosion and oxidation are traces of the passage of time. Thus, when selecting a material that, due to its nature, has undergone profound transformation processes over time for its materialization, a natural red slate was selected. In the same way, the doors were arranged, selecting metallic pieces of oxidized steel that were given the same breakdown as the natural stone panels.
