The site is located south of Lima, on a cliff facing the sea, in a desert area fully exposed to the natural elements—wind and the force of the ocean, with waves crashing at the base of the cliff. The proposal was developed around a monolithic structure inspired by pre-Columbian architecture, composed of two volumes containing the private areas and organized around a central courtyard.

The social areas, meanwhile, were designed as transitional spaces opening outward. The dining room is an open space formed by two perforated walls with vertical openings overlooking the sea and the garden. A striking feature of this space is the ceiling, which consists of an old fishing boat covering the entire area. This concept draws on the customs of Peruvian fishermen, who, when resting on land, turn their boats upside down and support them on their oars.

At the same time, it also evokes the nave of a church. The main building was constructed with concrete blocks and recycled wood pieces, all of local origin. The warm climate and lack of rainfall in the area allowed for the use of exposed concrete blocks in a modular design. These not only helped emphasize the simplicity of the surroundings, but also, on an aesthetic level, fulfilled the client’s design expectations. Finally, a swimming pool and a terrace were built, flowing toward the horizon viewpoints, reinforcing the goal of creating an open space embedded in the cliff and generating a sense of integration with the land.
