GROUND
With generous views directed towards the ravines, mountains and ravines, it was the first point that stands out in the location of the land, the problem, or rather the main area of opportunity for it, was the 20-meter slope.
SLOPES
They delimit the maximum area to take advantage of each section of the land, the first was the entrance area.
OPTIMAL SURFACE
The second section is where we have concentrated the footprint of the main construction, spanning the entire width possible and achieving incredible views in every living space.
INVESTMENT OF ACTIVITIES

PALCOS
It is proposed to extrude the facade to create boxes or continuous balconies full extent of the access floor and the lower floor creates a corridor outside the protected.
ADEQUACY OF TOPOGRAPHY
It adapts to the existing topography by moving the multipurpose area that has been used mainly as a guest bedroom, but which in turn serves as a covered terrace, whose roof reveals an uncovered terrace in the intermediate access slab and the rooftop.
CONNECTIONS
Thanks to the aforementioned unevenness and the terrain platforms, the access floor is continuously connected to each floor of the generated balconies.
FLUID CONTINUITY
From access until the end of the ground so you can navigate without repeating inniterrumpida paths connecting each area creating a continuity and a liquid architecture.
TERRACE
The third section connects to an open terrace with a pool and large gardens to take advantage of both its views and life outside, since the natural unevenness of the land would not otherwise allow it to be a usable environment.
Unbeatable views, large surfaces without boundaries, continuous connection between interior and exterior, solar orientations that respect each environment, a gigantic outdoor terrace and let's take into account the terraces and roof garden.
