The challenge in this project was to design a compact, affordable country house using local technology and connected to the surrounding mountainous, tropical context. First, we defined the house's position in accordance with strict setback regulations, taking advantage of previously completed earthworks. We located the built volume on a narrow strip of land surrounded by native forests and on the existing flat terrace. In this way, the social area faces the distant landscape to the north, and the house does not cast shadows on the pool at any time. Next, we articulated the lot and the house through a sequence of interconnected spaces: parking, palm garden, swimming pool, terrace, pergola, double-height social area, low patio, rooms, rear garden, and native forest. This sequence allows the house to function as either extroverted and open to the landscape or introverted and focused on the courtyard. We designed the social areas as open spaces without enclosures, although the kitchen has a large sliding wooden door that opens to integrate the kitchen and service area into the house's daily use. Between the dining room and the patio, a door allows the private spaces to be closed, isolating the rooms at night or when the house is not used. Finally, we designed the house section with two sloped, parallel roofs: the first over the living room and dining room, and the second over the three rear rooms. As a whole, these roofs function like those of a small industrial warehouse, allowing natural light, cross-ventilation, and hot-air outlets in the highest areas. A circular volume located at the western end houses a water reserve tank. With simple materials: bricks and ceramic tiles from nearby brick yards, breeze concrete blocks, steel columns and pergola, roof tiles, and certified native wood, the house has an appearance halfway between traditional housing construction and a small industrial building. The red color highlights and complements the green color of the surrounding nature.
