Casa Axis: A Dialogue Between Geometry and Nature
Casa Axis is defined by a clear strategy: two rotated axes that adapt to the site’s irregular topography, generating a cross-shaped floor plan. This gesture not only resolves the challenges of the terrain but also organizes circulation toward strategic points, framing views of the landscape and directing movement to the most significant family spaces. The axes serve as both visual and physical paths, connecting communal areas with the garden while establishing a gradual transition from public to private.
Interior fluidity is achieved through a sequence of interconnected spaces, where boundaries between living rooms, dining areas, and lounges dissolve, encouraging everyday interaction. Large windows and generous thresholds link these spaces to the garden, allowing vegetation and natural light to become integral design elements. In contrast, the front façade is composed of angled, solid volumes with carefully placed openings that preserve privacy without compromising expressiveness. This play between opacity and openness invites a gradual discovery of the interior, creating a sense of revelation as one moves through the house.
The material palette—subtle and textured—reinforces the connection to the surrounding environment: concrete, wood, and steel are combined in tones that evoke the local earth and sky. Sloped roofs and diagonal planes add a sense of dynamism, reflecting the language of Najas Arquitectos, where pure geometry is balanced with domestic functionality.
In essence, Casa Axis proposes an architecture that does not compete with its surroundings but interprets them. Every formal decision—from the rotation of axes to the placement of openings—responds to a dialogue between family life and the landscape, achieving a quiet yet eloquent cohesion.
