The Project is located in one of the highest areas of the city and consists of a 3 level house, designed for a young couple with 2 small children.

The family´s programmatic requirements and the steep topography of the terrain required the project to be conceived as a compact and efficient structure. The house is designed as a narrow volume with a longitudinal orientation in order to adequate it´s structure to the sloping topography of the plot and take advantage of the stunning views of the city.
