The north-facing terrain had a steep slope, which allowed for very good sunshine and beautiful views of the Ancient Dominicans, Manquehue Hill and the Andes Mountains. However, this great slope made the site totally exposed to the lower street through which one could access, which was another inconvenience considering that the logical position of the house was in the highest place and at the bottom of the terrain, since that was where the best views could be appreciated.

In this context, the project seeks to generate a horizontal platform in the upper part of the terrain, cutting behind it with a retaining wall and filling it in at the front against a swimming pool, long and narrow, of approximately 25 metres, which also operates as a retaining wall and as a short one street view, thus configuring an absolutely private esplanade with clear views of the landscape. On this esplanade the house is located behind, freeing the main garden to the views and leaving an interior patio against the retaining wall to the hill, to ventilate and illuminate the enclosures against the land.

All of the more transparent and public areas are left on this level, generating a transparency that connects the garden in the front with the more contained patio at the back, and the more opaque and private areas are suspended on a second level, where a series of balconies extend the interior areas and cut the views from the street, just like the swimming pool.
