Article source: grupoarquitectura The house consists of two very geometric separate volumes of concrete, one for services and other for the principal areas of the house. The two bodies are joined using steel bridges with glass floor that do not touch the trees and the forest and seems that we walk on the vegetation. The staircase is part of these bridges and neither touches the Forest, is completely blown from the house.
The volumes are too much closed to the outside and almost entirely open to the gardens and terraces facing South and East to capture all the sunlight on the terraces, therefore we designed some aluminum sunshades and we placed some seating areas outdoors with shadow. The house was built with a mixed system of concrete and metal structure with wooden beams, a system that allowed us to have totally open clearings without supports; with the idea of integrate the exterior with the interior spaces. All the structural system of the house is completely at plain sight so we can see how their performance is and how they work with all the structural elements of the house. Contact grupoarquitectura
