(CASA PÁTIO I)

 

The house is located at the highest elevation, providing a privileged view over the valley.

​

The adaptation to the topography and its interior organization around a patio optimize solar exposure and natural ventilation while providing a crossover of views between indoor and outdoor spaces.

​

The house is located on an outdoor podium, allowing the slope to the south to be managed. This adaptation to the terrain results in a lower floor, as if it were a solid block, in concrete pigmented with iron oxide the color of the earth in that place – known for clay extraction and ceramic production.

​

The relationship with the valley was also the argument for creating a walkable roof, with a privileged 360-degree view. It was thought of as a continuous and faceted surface: a direct result of the volumetry of the interior spaces.
