Textual description provided by the architects. Designed in a residential complex with abundant endemic plants, the main goal of the project was to create a symbiosis between architecture and landscape. Externally, solid amounts of concrete prevail, giving a choppy feel to the vegetation. The shape and layout of the volumes result from respect for the largest trees present.
Architectural elements such as metal pergolas are used only to integrate these trees and become an essential part of the project. The main façade is recessed to provide privacy to its users, while the rear façade opens to the surrounding landscape to take advantage of the best views.
Upon entering the house we are welcomed by a double-height space, a kind of glass box with diffused exterior/interior boundaries that becomes the main communication element of the project, dividing the social area and the service area horizontally, as a vertical point, dividing the social area and the private area once the staircase is found there. This entrance area helps the user feel immersed in the vegetation.
The program is distributed over two floors. On the ground floor, the social space consists of a dining room, kitchen and barbecue with views of the pool. We can highlight the nesses of environments by their fluidity and integration. There is also a service area attached to a large garage. The upper floor has 4 suites and an intimate TV room, and the connection created between these rooms becomes a walk through the treetops due to the visual connection to the outside.
The predominant materials on the exterior are visible concrete with a torn texture, panels, beams, metal beams and glass, while the interior provides a cozy atmosphere thanks to the torn wooden coverings.
