THIS RESIDENCE BEGAN WITH A SIGNIFICANT SITE CHALLENGE: A FOUR-METER SLOPE ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE LOT, DROPPING FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER. THE CHANGE IN ELEVATION WAS USED TO CREATE A SEMI-BASEMENT PARKING AREA WITH CAPACITY FOR FOUR VEHICLES, WHILE ALSO GENERATING A VOLUMETRIC ELEMENT ON THE FAÇADE THAT GIVES GREATER PRESENCE TO THE ENTRANCE. ALTHOUGH THE FAÇADE REMAINS CLOSED TOWARD THE EXTERIOR, THE HOUSE OPENS INWARD TO ITS FIVE DESIGNED PATIOS. WITH AN OPEN LAYOUT AND MINIMAL INTERIOR WALLS, THE SOCIAL AREA CONNECTS TO THE MAIN PATIO THROUGH AN 11-METER-WIDE GLASS OPENING, WHERE THE HOME’S POOL AREA IS LOCATED.
