The commission consisted of designing a single-story house on a triangular plot of land, located in a rural setting with abundant vegetation and open spaces. The peculiarity of the lot was that its longest side coincided with the front, which posed a challenge for organizing the layout of the house.
Given this condition, it was decided to locate the house on the short side, developing it in a linear fashion. This strategy made it possible to free up the longest section of the plot for use as a park and, at the same time, ensure that the main rooms had wide views and a better connection with the outdoor landscape.
The internal layout of the house responds to a clear division between service areas and main spaces. On one side are the secondary rooms, such as bathrooms, kitchen, dressing rooms, and service areas, which are ventilated through small patios, which also allows for privacy from neighboring houses. On the other side, the house opens completely to the park through large glass panels, achieving brightness, direct views, and good natural ventilation.
In terms of materials, the choice focused on optimizing their use, durability, and low maintenance. Exposed brick was used to create the more enclosed area, arranged continuously like a “ribbon” that folds and creates different private courtyards. In contrast, the front facing the garden was resolved with metalwork and glass, reinforcing transparency and integration with the exterior.
The end result is a compact, functional home with well-defined areas. Despite its formal simplicity, the interior layout offers a wide variety of spatial experiences, creating a balanced link between privacy and openness to the natural environment.
