The house is built in a very honest way with clean lines that allow the environment to take over and be the protagonist, it is finished in pigmented flats, clay roofs, local pine beams and volcanic stone.

With a site of moderately marked topography, this house adapts and permeates very well with its context. It was conceptualized under the premise of seeking a single level in the majority of the house, making it a discreet and private project. It moves in a square shape in such a way that we prioritize the view and green areas for social areas and we propose a body for the bedrooms that generates privacy and is oriented towards the South. Both elements are subtly isolated by a common patio.

Under this criterion we contain the public spaces and green areas and organically the composition functions as a division between the other houses. The architecture in the social area presents a modular system of repetition where the columns create a constant rhythm of light, shadow and lightness. For private spaces it is expressed through greater volumetry and containment, reducing the size of openings and promotes care for the scale and proportion of solid and void.

The social body with a water roof opens to its immediate terrace and the forest, hierarchizing it and capturing every view and ray of light under an imposing, but controlled height of 4 meters. The interior of the house seeks to convey simplicity, calm and at all times highlight these photographs of nature in each of these spaces.
