A house located on a log-shaped lot, with a pronounced natural slope - led to an atypical approach to the configuration of spaces and architectural volumes. Thus, the house is spread over three levels, superimposed crosswise: the day area is located on the first floor, where it benefits from natural light and a wide perspectives on the city, and the night area is found on the ground floor. The volumes are raised from the ground so that the contact of the building with the ground is minimal, reducing the intervention on the site and creating ample spaces at this level.
Grassy terraces were formed above the ground floor, with opposite cardinal orientations, which serve the living area located on the first floor. These, together with the proposed green spaces at ground level, add up to a larger area than the actual land area. The client, a specialist in metal fabrications, wanted the structure to be as visible as possible, both externally and internally.
