"The relationship with the existing landscape and the uneven topography were the main determinants in the design of Casa Tamanás. Situated on a sloped lot with several existing fruit trees, the fundamental strategy of the project consisted of operating through precise cuts in the built volume."
"More than simple openings, these interventions function as frames that enhance the view of the landscape, framing scenes that vary between the tree canopies and the gardens at ground level, establishing a visual continuity that integrates the architecture with its immediate surroundings."
Casa Tamanás responds to its sloped topography and existing fruit trees through a design strategy centered on precise cuts within the built volume. These cuts function as more than simple openings; they serve as frames that enhance and direct views of the surrounding landscape. The design creates visual continuity by framing scenes that range from tree canopies to ground-level gardens, establishing a seamless integration between the architecture and its immediate natural surroundings. This approach prioritizes the relationship between the building and existing landscape conditions.
