"The house is situated on a raised section of the lot, taking advantage of the gentle topography and deep views of the surrounding rural landscape. The main volume is arranged in a strictly longitudinal manner, aligned with the predominant boundaries of the land and integrating into the terrain through a green platform that follows the natural movement of the soil."
"The project is organized around two simultaneous formal operations: a monolithic body of continuous walls in earthy tones that creates a blind front towards the vehicular access and another that is completely permeable towards the landscape; and a support pavilion, with a lighter and more contemporary language, characterized by black carpentry, glass planes, and horizontal sunshades."
The house occupies a raised section of the lot to take advantage of gentle topography and deep rural views. The main volume runs strictly longitudinally, aligned with the land’s predominant boundaries. The building integrates with the terrain via a green platform that follows the natural movement of the soil. The design consists of two simultaneous formal operations: a monolithic body of continuous earthy-toned walls that forms a blind front toward vehicular access and an opposite facade that is completely permeable to the landscape. A separate support pavilion uses a lighter contemporary language with black carpentry, expansive glass planes, and horizontal sunshades.
