suspended volume well defined by the roof and chimney. The context of residences in the neighborhood
highlights the reference in the house typology.
The blue color unifies the entire upper volume including the roof, creating a unique shape that is
distinguishable from a distance.
The biggest challenge of the project was due to the accentuated topography, which ended up becoming one
of the differences of the work that makes the house stand out in the landscape.
The triplex is distributed in a suspended upper volume with the internal area of the house, the ground floor
with a leisure area and garage and the basement with an extra room and large garden.
The internal spaces that define the house are on the upper floor, bedrooms, bathroom and living room/
kitchen with a wide view due to the topography of the lot. Integrated living room and kitchen spaces bring
more social connection between the house’s residents.
The ground floor houses a garage and living space with a barbecue and toilet for family parties. And in the
basement, another room that interacts with the external garden can be used as an extra office space,
workshop, living room, bedroom - depending on the needs of the future resident.
The design has cross ventilation that cools the house in summer and a solar orientation that allows plenty of
sunlight throughout the day to warm up on winter days.
The volume of the external staircase connects all levels through the back facade, with a strong visual
presence.
The building is intended for sale, therefore the construction techniques were designed to save money and
guarantee an affordable final price.
