The house is designed in response to the site’s characteristics. It is strategically positioned to avoid any damage on the existing trees.
The house is situated in El Santuario, an exclusive and secure residential area. Its design harmonizes strongly with nature, as it is nestled within an expansive forest, offering breathtaking views of the city and ample green spaces.
The architectural structure is pivotal, characterized by large cantilevers and columns crafted in funnel forms to emulate the surrounding trees.
The layout comprises four volumes strategically positioned to maximize orientation, ensuring abundant natural light and ventilation throughout. Each corner of the house provides stunning panoramic views.
