The proposal The environmental and landscape fea- tures of the installation location, the par- ticular use to which it is intended and the lack of a client to condition the project, allowed to undertake this work as an op- portunity to experiment with both func- tional issues as with aesthetic-construc- tive solutions The search for alternatives would have only three limitations: the work should be of very low impact on the landscape, it would be adjusted to a low budget and its subsequent maintenance should be almost null. With these prem- ises, the house located in an area with 43 pine trees and a gentle slope towards the street, was resolved as a strong prism, free, in minimum height, defined by an exposed concrete enclosure, of texture Izquierda / Left: Zona protegida, and color in harmony with the forest, con aberturas más controladas, destinada a los dormitorios, el and with large panes of glass to enable baño y un lugar para cocinar. Area rotected, with more con- full integration with the landscape and, trolled apertures, destined for bedroombathroom and as, in turn, reflecting it. The complementary cooking place functions (auxiliary bath,storage and water tank) were gathered in a vertical wood prism hidden in the trees. The functional organization © Juan Hitters The simple volume that hosts the main functions was solved by proposing two clearly differentiated areas: one ex- posed, fully glazed, surrounded by a large wooden deck designed to devel- op the activities of meeting in full inte- gration with the forest, a sort of veranda, and the other protected, with more con- trolled apertures, destined for bedrooms, bathroom and a cooking place. The house does not have a proper access, since you can enter the house through glazed sliding doors located in two of its facades. This special way of entrance, together with a spatial uncertainty of the living area, allows various ways of use. On the other hand, two metal slid- ing doors close securely this flexible use place,when required, from the rest of the rooms. © Juan Hitters t15318
