Text description provided by the architects. The house is composed of two geometric concrete volumes , one volume contains the services and the other the main areas of the house. The two bodies are united by means of glass-walled steel bridges that do not touch the trees or the forest and it seems that we walk on the vegetation.

The volumes are very closed to the north exterior and almost completely open to the gardens and terraces that face south and east so we can capture the most sunlight as possible on the terraces, for that reason we design some aluminum sunshades and we have some outdoor living areas with shadow.

The house was built with a mixed system of concrete and metal structure with wooden beams, a system that allowed us to have an open space without columns; With the idea of integrating the exterior spaces into the interiors. The entire structural system of the house is completely visible, so we can see how all the structural elements of the house work.
