Jaime Prous Architects as Architects

Residential complex of single-family homes
On a dense pine forest gently sloping down to a landscape of meadows and lakes, this complex of twenty-three homes is proposed. The aim is to hide under the thick shade of the pines and go unnoticed with a slow, local and surprising architecture.

Each home is made up of cubes of different proportions that are set at different levels following the natural terrain. The homes are grouped together to reduce visual impact and share the views from the highest point of the hill.
