Other Projects by Vicca Verde
House JSM
Lima, Peru
To build a beach house that would be protected from the natural elements, yet open enough to enjoy the sun, the sea, and the spectacular views. It was also important that the project respect the surrounding context and the environment.
SITE – The site is located south of Lima, on a cliff overlooking the ocean, in a desert area completely exposed to the elements—wind, the power of the sea, and waves crashing at the base of the cliff.
CONCEPT – The proposal was developed from a monolithic structure inspired by pre-Columbian architecture, composed of two volumes that house the private areas and include a central patio.
The social areas were designed as transitional, open-air spaces. The dining area consists of an open room formed by two walls perforated with vertical openings that frame views of the ocean and garden.
A standout feature of this space is its roof, made from an old fishing boat that spans the entire area. This concept draws on Peruvian fishermen's customs—when on land, they flip their boats over and rest them on their oars. At the same time, the form also evokes a church nave.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – The main building was constructed with concrete blocks and reclaimed wood, all sourced locally.
Thanks to the warm climate and lack of rain, exposed blocks could be used with a modular design. These not only emphasized the simplicity of the surroundings but also met the client's aesthetic expectations.
Finally, a pool and terrace were built, flowing toward the horizon views—reiterating the goal of creating an open space, embedded in the cliff, that evokes a strong sense of connection with the land.
