The location of the house on the lot was defined, after a solar radiation study, prioritizing the beautiful views of the forest so desired by the client and, at the same time, solving the steep slope of the land. To achieve this, the project established three main plateaus.
The exposed concrete retaining wall respected the topography and demarcates social access, in addition to adjusting the terrain's unevenness, articulating the volumes that constitutes the house. The upper floor houses the main suite, which has a strategic position overlooking the pool and the forest, and two more suites for the children. The latter are located on the upper plateau created by removing earth from the cuts in the land. The upper garden has a privileged view and can be accessed directly via the external staircase which, at the same time, allows a direct connection from the entrance of the house to the eldest son's suite.
On the intermediate plateau (ground floor), defined at the curb level, day-to-day access is through the garage or the social entrance. The guest walks through the open corridor until reaching the main door strategically positioned to generate surprise at the first impression of those who enter and notice the double-height space that opens onto the leisure area and the generous view.
Social spaces are integrated, including the kitchen, which, in turn, has a direct connection to the barbecue. The separation between the kitchen and the dining room is made only by a cobogós partition. In the background, the space that houses the TV room and office also connects with the living room and can be closed with a large sliding panel made from reclaimed wood.
Still on the ground floor, an independent block next to the barbecue area houses the guest suite. The space resulting from the removal of the guest block leads, via stairs, to the lower plateau, where the kennel and orchard are located.
