The proposal concerns a single-family residence on a sloping plot with southern orientation and views toward the natural landscape.The building is organized on a single level with a linear development along the contour lines, ensuring minimal intervention on the terrain and a direct relationship with the environment.
The design is based on a sequence of volumes with slight shifts that creat sheltered semi-outdoors spaces, courtyards, and shaded areas.The roof follow a polygonal geometry with sharp lines and function as a unified element that consolidates the composition.The roof features as bold geometric design that gives the overall structure a dynamic identity,serving as the fifth facade of the building.The building is organized on a single level, parallel to the terrain’s contour lines, forming an elongated and clear shape. Subsequently,according to the various needs of the spatial program a system of division and subtraction ”sculpts” the shell like a piece of sculpture, creating diverse spatial qualities.
The design is based on a sequence of volumes with subtle shifts that form protected of volumes with subtle shifts that form protected semi-outdoor areas,courtyards,and points of shading.The roof follows the same principle with strong lines and acts as a cohesive element unifying the composition.The distinct geometric design of roof imparts a dynamic identity to the whole, serving as the building’s fifth facade.
