Challenge
The challenge was to create a home that seamlessly blended with the natural environment while providing a comfortable living space for the family. The steep slope and location of the large spans presented design challenges.
Aproach
Our approach was to strategically place the large spans in front of the entrance to each compartment to create a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor spaces. We used natural materials, such as wood and raw stone, to complement the surroundings and create a cohesive design. By designing with neutral colors, we allowed nature to be the focus and bring vibrant colors through flowers and fruits. We created a permeable home that allowed the family to be surrounded by nature and all its versatility every day of the year.
