Description
The houses are presented dynamically, on elevated platforms. The rounded corners eliminate edges emerging in harmony with the surrounding vegetation elements. Seeking greater formal richness, the walls are externally covered by an element specifically designed for the undertaking, a factor of singularity and expressive richness. WIth a strong vertical character, it repeats troughout the perimeter of the buildings, dematerializing the mass of the volumes, covering door and window openings, forming a single surface.

Starting from the relationship between deployments, a determining reference in the valorization of views, the proposed houses materialize a new dimension in the esemble. At first, they respond to a territorial condition, presenting themselves as a telluric emergency, anchored in the existing relief, to culminate indistinctly in the territory in which they intend to be inserted.
