Residential
Collaboration with: ENKEL
The project is situated on a flat sloping site, where the artificial topography created by the design helps minimize visual impact and enhances integration with the landscape. The house is conceived through a semi-buried strategy, with the lower level partially embedded in the terrain, establishing a direct relationship with the natural surroundings. This level houses service areas and storage spaces. The floor plan is organized along two main axes in the form of an inverted "T". The upper level is developed as a lightweight volume, glazed on its main façades, providing visual transparency and a sense of continuity between the interior and the surrounding environment. The bedrooms are located on this level, positioned at the ends to maximize privacy. The social areas align with the main circulation axis. The project opens up to the landscape through the incorporation of a swimming pool, emphasizing the extension of the natural surroundings. It stands as a synthesis between architecture and landscape, where rigorous geometry and a sensitive approach to the site define a quiet yet deeply contextual work.
