The house is located
in an elevated area, from which it dominates a hillside leading down to the
sea. This view marks the direction the walls will take and, in an abstract
form, define the project. The house is structured as a compaction of volumes of
varying heights, and the form established by the main walls.
The articulating space
volume of this sequence is obtained from opening courts and patios in the
central space of the house. A series of open courtyards are formed, covered in
its perimeter like an atrium, in search of the access to the house, obtaining
different perceptions of the house.
The views from any
point intersect and are never interrupted along the permeable sequence at the
end of which, limited between glass membranes, is the lobby. Thus, it creates
an approach path that exposes the more intimate side of the house so that, once
inside, you discover the long views over the hillside to the sea.
Among the great
defining walls, the space is closed with large glass panels protected with
wooden movable planes, graduating the closing level of each piece.
The housing program is
focused very clearly in the direction marked by the walls, and volumes depend
on the spatial hierarchy of spaces. Two wooden emerging volumes, materialized
by the chimneys, mark the counterpoint to the horizontality that defines the
entire house.
