On a sloping land, among the pine trees of the forest that forms behind the dunes of the Pampas sea beach, this house tries to minimize its impact on the environment by reducing its footprint, in order to maintain the greatest number of existing trees.
The project seeks to ensure that, in addition to being compact and efficient, it faces the landscape with large windows, both frontal and angled, to include as much of the surrounding landscape as possible inside.
Everything is made and modulated with 6-inch pine boards: the formwork of the facades and concrete slabs, the exterior decks, and the doors and interior coverings painted white. The verticality in the formwork plays with the verticality and slenderness of the young trees.
On the ground floor, the maximum opening towards the forest was sought, with a linear kitchen facing the views as the only dividing element.
On the upper floor, the greatest performance was sought for 3 bedrooms and 2 basic bathrooms. Their connecting hallway opens to the front where you take the stairs that lead to the terrace.
This staircase on top of the other staircase is finally what makes the architectural theme of the project, giving it that idea of turning on itself like a snail, the same ones you find on the way to the beach.
