Beach House in Las Palmeras / Javier Artadi

Architects: Javier Artadi
Location: Lima, Peru
Project Year: 2011
Project Area: 348.00 sqm
Photographs: Elsa Ramirez

The project is located at 125 km south of Lima city in a beach named “Las Palmeras”.The house is organized into three levels: the first level contains all service areas, garage and guest rooms; the second level comprises the house principal rooms; and the third one is intended to be the social areas: kitchen, living-room, dining-room, terrace and swimming pool.

The underlying conceptual proposal seeks to reduce to the minimum the architectonic shapes and forms so as to concentrate all the sight-seeing force on the upper volume, principal figure which seems to be wishing to float over the other levels of the house.
