The plot of land where this project is located has particular constraints that were a challenge for the positioning and integration of the construction in the surroundings, among them the solar orientation to the north, the high difference in height and the shape of the limits of the plot.

To favor the view to the hills landscape, the northernmost portion of the land was chosen for the positioning of the house. In addition, in response to the strong winds from the north quadrant, which prevail in the region for most of the year, a wedge-shaped layout was designed, oriented precisely towards the north in the living room area. In the centre, the patio and swimming pool are protected by housing on three fronts and benefit from the opening onto a line of trees to the southwest.

In order to solve the large difference in height and minimize the impact of the constructive volumetry, the entrance to the main floor (Level 1) is carried out through the highest area of the lot. From there, the floors are developed in a descending direction, with a semi-underground floor (Floor -1) and another in the basement (Floor -2). The large windows in the pool patio aim to dilute the interior and exterior spaces, but also the possibility of enjoying the landscape to the north from the pool and through the large windows of the living room, which was, from the beginning, a added value suggested by the customer.
