Casa Iriarte by SOCO Estudio Reworks a Narrow Las Palmas Plot Into an Adaptable Concrete Home

Built on a narrow, elongated plot typical of Las Palmas’ historic centre, the house reworks the conventional layout of Gran Canaria’s traditional homes.
Instead of placing the patio at the centre, SOCO Estudio shifts it towards the rear, allowing the staircase to occupy the depth of the plan as a vertical spine.
The ground floor houses an open-plan studio that gathers workspace, lounge and utility areas together.
Throughout, the fluid configuration keeps domestic life programmatically loose while drawing daylight deep into the narrow floorplan, aided by floor-to-ceiling glazing and a skylight above the stairwell.
The same logic extends upwards to the roof terrace, or azotea, a traditional feature of Canarian domestic life used for work, leisure and gathering.
