Text description provided by the architects. 7 considerations for a house on the andes tropic

1. on the placement

The house swims through the lot, generating its own space between the trees - without cutting down any. The geometry of the house adapts to the geometry of the space between the trees.

6. on the order

The surface of the house is organized around two stripes. One, on the outside, manages the opening landscape to the trees through variable sections. The other, to the inside, acts as a light, temperature and views filter.

The house is a system of perceptions and exchange.
