“The design responds to the topographical conditions, rising above the ground while respecting the pronounced natural slope, and achieving a formalization that simulates floating in the landscape”.

The house, narrow and elongated, is strategically supported on the ground, seeking the rocky stratum that ensures the stability of the entire structure. A design was developed that respects the geography of the site, focusing on the use of local and sustainable materials, such as wood, a key element in the project that extends through the structure, as well as in both the interiors and exteriors. This choice strengthens the connection with the environment and minimizes the environmental impact of the project.

The interior porticos of the house function under tension, avoiding possible buckling, which helps maintain stability in a lightweight and efficient framework. In addition, the sawn wood panels stabilize the structure, while the laminated beams and wood particle boards help minimize the carbon footprint during execution.
