The project consists of the design and construction of a house made of concrete, steel, and glass, articulated with the morphology of the alpine site. The organization of volumes and levels stems from an analysis of the slopes, ground lines, and natural structure of the terrain. Topography, light, winds, and vegetation determine the form, orientation, and arrangement of the spaces.
Concrete is the fundamental principle of the project. Its mass reflects the gravity and permanence of the site and formalizes the relationship between the building and the land. The material manifests the intensity of natural forces and the project's anchoring in its context. The steel structure reinforces the spatial articulations and supports the necessary spans, while the glass establishes visual connections with the landscape, integrating the living into the architectural experience.
Each structural element results from the observation and understanding of the site. The concrete expresses the tensions of the soil, its resistance to stresses, and the temporality of the place. The design is based on a phenomenological reading of the site, where volumes translate the topography and horizontal lines embody the continuity of life. The architecture emerges from the assembly of these material and topographical conditions, articulating gravity, density, and orientation in a way specific to this site.
