This is a house that unfolds to look at itself, the SKL house is staggered on a sloping topography by means of four modules. Apparently independent, they are joined by two garden tunnels that make this house a single unit. With the rotation of these pieces, angular openings are created that allow the creation of interior gardens. Each one keeps the same proportions, but is inverted with respect to the previous one, which allows us to generate a common principle between roofs, trestle levels and lateral heights of the facades.

The SKL house, black on the outside and light wood throughout the internal surface, is a place of levels and double heights, a clear place full of openings with different shades of color, the light never enters in the same direction. The glazed and rotated facades generate a transversal transparency throughout the house.

A bridge to access it, a metal walkway that holds a library over the social area, a ceramic workshop on a first level, a mesh on a double height, or a Turkish room are some of the elements and spaces that this home has.

The SKL house is a home that is discovered as you walk through it, a place of asymmetrical perspectives and contrasts between its finishes.
