C House
Lima, Peru
House longitudinally developed over a short-front lot. The proposal
emphasizes the access from the second level, in which entrance to
the house is located, towards the lower zone, in which the social zone
and the external areas are developed.
The lower level spaces are built within a glass box linked directly to
the gardens that have received landscaping treatment. This creates
different views linked to the water, the light and the geometry of
vegetation.
The second level, in which the intimate zone is located, is higher
to compensate that the entire perimeter is closed. The roofs are
perforated to enable the view towards the sky and its changes during
the day.
The house is covered with natural finishes, in such a way that these
change with time and its colors and textures are settled according
to the behaviors of the materials. These act as different skins that
embrace the project.
The set recovers Le Corbusier’s first stage codes and sabotages
them releasing the composing elements from gravity with a luminous
treatment. Besides, light creates different experiences from the
programming of scenes in each and every room.
The details load the project’s initial rationalism, thus creating a
permanent tension in which the temporary references disappear.
