The project is defined by a single volume that is inserted and adapts to the steep slope of the plot, thus reducing its visual impact and integrating into the surrounding natural landscape.

The interior spaces of the residence are organized and developed, always seeking a direct relationship with natural light and outdoor spaces. The main areas of the residence extend physically and visually towards the natural environment, which is framed through large openings that enhance the feeling of openness and transparency.

Landscape design has been an integral part of the project, naturally becoming an extension of the residence's spaces.

The entire project is developed under a roof that acts as a large viewpoint overlooking the imposing natural context and allowing the visual boundaries of the plot to expand. This space becomes one of the main features of the residence, creating a place for gathering, relaxation, and contemplation.

The color and texture, combined with its great durability over time, were the main reasons for choosing exposed concrete as the material to provide the character and appropriate presence that this project needed.

Inside, a warm materiality has been created through the use of cherry oak wood, natural stone, and ceramic flooring. The use of these materials extends from the interior to the exterior, enhancing this relationship and creating a sense of a unique and continuous space between both realms.
