The house as a den.
A place of isolation for reflection and rest, detached from the urban context and intertwined with the natural environment.
Outer space never ends and interior space never begins.
Materials participate in the process of relation to outer space; They are hard but adapt themselves, get older every day, change.
The concrete walls isolate us from the neighbors and they frame the views; block boxes complement the spaces and services.
Understand the site as a series of design responses: a cliff, a tree, a stone wall and canyon are the main components of the project.
