It’s located south of Lima, district of Cañete, within a desert climate near to the Pacific Ocean.  Image Courtesy © Juan Solano

The site is at the surroundings of a beach but far away from the shore coast. So we want to bring the beach experience to the house.

The first one is located at ground level with a high functionality and few vertical perforations making it a low lighted object. It works as a solid platform that allows the social living to be above it as an open space with no internal divisions, with a panoramic view under a weightless plane.
