On the 800m² site, a 500m² residence blends in with the land and its surroundings. The RR house has 3 floors. They are the garage, social and intimate. The first floor is the car garage, cellar, extra bedroom and secondary access to the residence. On the second floor is the main access to the house, where the daily routine of the residence takes place, the television, fireplace, dining room, kitchen and gourmet space and its relationship with the land and terraces. On the third floor are located the bedrooms, three suites and two panoramic terraces.  Image Courtesy © Marcelo Donadussi

In the RR house this was used externally and internally. The basalt stone appears in 60% of the facade, it touches the ground in some volumes, connecting the building to the ground and the earth, the perception that one has is that the basalt stone volumes have always been there, other adjacent and superior elements complete and finalize the volumetry of the house. In this way, these stone blocks receive, on the ground and lower floors, prisms and exposed reinforced concrete planes, and on the upper floor, a rectangular volume plastered, textured and painted. With this we identify the hierarchy of internal spaces. The lower volumes of the garage and installations that go up and form the double height of the living space with fireplace, plus the kitchen and laundry area. The apparent concrete forms the TV room and gourmet space. The textured plaster with frames marked by friezes marks the bedrooms.

It is possible to go out through decks in contact with the ground, balconies that allow views of the bucolic mountain scenery and terraces that seem to penetrate the native forest. The black PVC openings are quite generous in size and quantity. They cut out the vertical planes and frame the external space populated by greenery and araucarias, a typical mountain tree, the feeling is of always looking at a painting or photograph in real time or even better, feeling outside while inside the house.
