House description
Any ideas? Architecture speak unfortunately.
El edificio consiste en una vivienda unifamiliar aislada con piscina, jardín y garaje. Se trata de una edificación orientada al suroeste muy próxima al mar y configurada según ***una adición de volúmenes maclados*** que se van adaptando a los desniveles del terreno.
Many thanks

I think the "configurada según una adición" part means "formed by adding". You could streamline that a bit and say something like "consisting of/formed by intersecting volumes".

Apparently the term has been already discussed in Proz:

My suggestion would be to use "intersected volumes" as a possible translation...
