Article source: Juan Marco Marco The house is located on a lot of 1560 square meters, with a complex topography of steep slopes both in the longitudinal (north-south) and transversal (east-west) directions. The strategy for the project is developed from two initial decisions: – Locating the dwelling in the highest area (the least usable, a priori), where the slope is the steepest, to generate horizontal areas (habitable, usable) in the rest of the lot. In this way, the entire lot can be surveyed from the house, the relationship with the landscape is thus intensified, and the best natural ventilation is taken advantage of, which is important given the harsh climate especially in the summer.

Two scales of approach are taken into consideration. The farther scale, in the landscape, is addressed with the volume on the ground floor and a more abstract image generated by the terrace which open towards the south providing protection from the sun.  Image Courtesy © Elena Arroyo The nearer scale, further down the mountain, is where we perceive the top floor as a free perimeter building, an effect emphasized by landscaping the lower floor, producing a continuity with the immediate, manipulated environment.

Importance of spaces “diaphragm”.
