Named for the eucalyptus trees that shelter it, Casa Eucalipto rises from its landscape as a quiet composition of two volumes, each with its own dialogue with the surroundings.
The ground floor is a rectangular base that mirrors the proportions of the property, positioned with intent to embrace the immediate landscape and root the home firmly in its place. Above it, the second volume rotates away from the base, a deliberate shift that opens the home to optimal light, climate, and views.
From this elevated vantage, the residence looks out toward the distant city of Cartago and the southern range of mountains beyond, framing the horizon while remaining nestled among the trees that give it its name. It is a home that belongs to the earth below and the vista above at once.
