Starting from a series of constraints imposed by the terrain and its surroundings, we projected a residence building with two floors, hosted on a platform that lands on the natural terrain. We have opted to bring closer the built volume to the west limit of the terrain, in a way of minimizing land movements, freeing terrain for a yard and a garden. Given the strong street inclination, the house roofs contiguous to the terrain find themselves at quite different heights. So, to avoid a big confrontation between the buildings’ heights on the street facade, we chose to bring those heights closer, aligning the roof edges to the lines of the adjacent buildings, resulting in an inclined roof, that follows the street inclination.

There is an interrelated relationship between the “problem” and the “solution”, so the greater the degree of definition and understanding of the problem, the greater will be the ability to validate the solution. Architectural production is made of this strict relationship, the search of the answer to the specificity of the question.

The Box XL Houses is a seven houses development arranged in a diverse way, creating different relationships with the environment. The aim was to achieve a balance between the “constructed” and the “natural”, between the “mass” and the “void” so that these two antagonistic realities would form a peaceful and continuous dialogue, enhancing each other. The idea adopted in the project and the division of the lots was carried out to allow the creation of space between the constructed mass, thus obtaining a visual permeability with the landscape.
