This project draws inspiration from the quest for protection and shelter, reminiscent of a child covering themselves with a light bed sheet for safety. Like this elementary act, the design aims to conceal, protect, and create an intimate, secure space. It materializes as an artificial hill formed by four concrete walls rising from the landscape, two bearing the earth of the new hill and two framing the entrance.
The architecture serves as a subtle accent in the natural poem of the surroundings, composed of pines, oaks, sweet acacias, fireflies, and other elements. These accents are concrete walls that emerge in the landscape, forming a solitary path to the house, leading visitors to a significant tree, around which a wall curves.
Inside, a concrete vault supports the 'green sheet' above, creating a cozy, cave-like sensation. Concrete, chosen for its ability to integrate and change color with the environment, is complemented by wood flooring balancing the concrete's coldness and steel that rusts to resemble tree bark.
The spatial organization divides the house into public areas open to the wooded ravine and private areas timidly open to a courtyard that allows views of the sky and treetops. The aim was to minimize temporal references, hiding appliances and using discreet lighting, focusing on four main materials: stone, wood, concrete, and steel, preserving the rugged, primitive atmosphere of being in the mountains.
