Description
The rugged topography of this land would present a challenge if it had not been taken as a motto for the morphology of the building and its division of spaces, both interior and exterior. The outer space has its functions divided by platforms that resemble threshing floors or terraces, and provide direct support to the internal divisions. More specifically, on the ground floor, opposite the garage door, there is space to park vehicles; on the first floor the patio complements the living room, and on the second floor it serves as a balcony for the bedrooms; at the top is where the swimming pool is, as well as a playful interior space to support it.
