Article source: Otto Medem Arquitectura The project is commissioned by a couple of journalists who seek peace on the outskirts of the city. The house is broken into 3 volumes to suit the rugged topography of the land. The pieces are positioned to find the best views of the mountains and take in the serenity. Solar positioning was also considered with the placement of each room, depending on its designated use. The union of these 3 parts is established through the connection of their facades, with bands that cross and give expression to the project.  Image Courtesy © Luis H Segovia

At 0.00 we put the living room, from where direct access to the porch and pool are permitted through a sliding window system, allowing the user to expand the room into the garden in summer.

The exterior is adapted to the different levels of the house, to allow direct contact with the vegetation that surrounds it. At the top of the ground floor lies the sleeping area, which consists of only 2 rooms in fulfillment of the clients’ wishes.
