Structural Design: Diego Robalino

Project: 2002-04
Construction: 2005
Designed for a young couple with three small children, the house is
located within a tree garden full of a diversity of local species
of considering age and size distributed over a very generous area;
the site was cared for by the couple for several years before deciding
to build.
The most important requirements were that the house be set among these
trees and that a small pre-existent construction at the edge of the
lot be maintained.
Taking advantage of a prolonged design process, the scheme was abbreviated
to two white planes that fold and wind over the slightly sloping site,
one shapes the floor plane, and the other, the roof plane and walls
that limit the spaces according to their position among the trees,
orientation toward the sun, or in relation to other interior spaces.
Service, garage and bathroom volumes are inserted or separated from
the white planes and differ in material and colour.
