Perched atop a hill, Casa FI-137 unveils a symphony of horizontal volumes and vertical accents, seamlessly blending into the natural topography while offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city.
A Secluded Retreat with Panoramic Vistas
The residence, designed by Blending Dots Arquitectos, comprises three distinct blocks arranged transversally and positioned descendently along the natural slope of the terrain, responding to the client's programmatic requirements and desire for privacy.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a simple and unassuming façade that belies the expansive and captivating spaces within. The ground-level block houses a garage and the owner's apartment, offering complete independence while maintaining visual control over the entire property.
Descending to the second block, one discovers the heart of the home – the living and entertainment area. A sprawling covered terrace, swimming pool, sundecks, bathrooms, and changing rooms provide an idyllic setting for gatherings and leisure.
The third block, nestled further below, accommodates the sleeping quarters, including secondary bedrooms, a guest room, and a cozy family room. This level opens onto a secluded backyard, adorned with a landscaped open area and a fire pit, perfect for enjoying starlit nights and clear skies.
A Design that Embraces the Landscape
The architectural brilliance of Casa FI-137 lies not in its frontal façade but in the way each space meticulously frames the horizon, making it an integral and defining element of the home. Whether in the living areas, bedrooms, or open or enclosed spaces, panoramic views of the city captivate the senses.
As one traverses the house, descending from one level to the next, the design unfolds, revealing the enveloping qualities of the horizontal volumes, the simplicity and horizontality of the forms, the verticality of the side walls, and the rhythmic pattern of the steel columns.
A Symphony of Light and Shadow
Large windows strategically positioned throughout the residence bathe the interiors in natural light, creating a harmonious interplay of light and shadow. This interplay is further accentuated by the use of contrasting materials – the warmth of wood juxtaposed against the coolness of concrete and steel.
A Haven of Tranquility and Connection
Casa FI-137 stands as a testament to the power of architecture to seamlessly integrate with nature, creating a haven of tranquility and connection. Its panoramic views, thoughtful design, and harmonious interplay of light and shadow invite residents and guests alike to immerse themselves in the beauty of their surroundings, fostering a deep sense of connection with the natural world.
