About the project (provided by the applicant)
To accommodate the construction, a cut was made in the front portion of the lot, next to the street, defining the two lower floors: the first, the entrance and the garage; the second, the office. The house rises on the third level, on a plateau that allows for a linear, fluid layout, integrated with the landscape and the horizon. The building rests on the side boundaries and opens up at the permitted distances, strategically distancing itself from neighboring buildings, in search of light, air and privacy. The high ceiling height intensifies this relationship with the external environment, allowing natural light to invade the spaces and the sky to be part of everyday life. The choice of concrete was natural from the beginning — not only as a structure, but as a language. Brutal in its essence, it reveals itself in solids and voids, in planes that protect from the street and, at the same time, open up to the sky, the mountains, the city. A gesture of strength and subtlety.
