[Lecumberri & Cidoncha]
In Lérruz time stopped several decades ago. The hands that tilled the cereal of Lizoain valley did not find replacement and its population decreased until it became a place of seasonal recreation. Against the trend, a young couple with strong roots in the valley chose a plot of land in the northwest perimeter of the village to settle down and start a family. With almost no internet access, but fully aware of the benefits of rural life.
For the construction of the house, local workers and sometimes self-builders were used, taking advantage, as far as possible, of the resources present in the plot itself and its surroundings.
Despite the existence of access to all services, it was considered the possibility of making the house self-sufficient in terms of energy, seeking, once again, a minimal impact on its immediate surroundings. To this end, it has a wood-fired biomass boiler for hot water and heating, solar panels strategically placed to complement the electricity supply and a water tank to store and reuse water from the frequent rains.
