The start of a carrier requires some luck and conviction. As our first construction, we are first-timers in all aspects. Interest and dedication is what we want to share.
The project
The landscape is a source of multiple solutions for an architectural composition. In this case, the view to the mountains was a fundamental piece in the decisions made. The ceilings collaborated in the idea of looking towards the objective. We kept in suspension throughout the process the idea of the landscape according to the modern movement ‘‘the sky must touch the land if you wish there to be landscape in architecture.’’
As a result of this reflection, the ceilings as elements of a greater flexible composition in the edification allow us to work on it to close the idea. The planes rise to a height of 3.66m, which is two times the size of a person. The inclination is a synonym of hierarchy, that’s why this element selects the location of the environments in a pertinent way. The idea of descent directed to the mountains, makes the intentions clear to the viewer.
The square morphology of the environments helps us to conceive a proportional shelter, the height from the floor to the roof selects which way should a hole be open with the aim of looking towards the landscape, with no excuses of a volume in front of it. The best example is the living room space where the ceiling rises and looks over the bedroom area. Likewise, the guest bathroom maintains a height of 2.40 meters, so the space looks the landscape above it. The open kitchen is the cherry of these space, it allows to be use for the interior as well as the exterior as a bar.
The constructive system is a lightweight format that speeds the construction process. The modulation of the blocks and the lines in the roof allow us to give this project all the details that a country house demands. Without a doubt, a team of professionals in understanding with the client, area capable of sustaining the conceptual ideas from start to end.
