S House

GAA.2024 | Gold Winner | Architecture

A north-facing slope where the sun seems to slide along throughout the day. A terrain dotted with oaks to be preserved, admired, and enjoyed. A space to capture the sun—elusive, but always generous to those who consider it. An irregular slope marked by three predominant levels. Three platforms that organize the house. Massive volumes oriented, adapted, and accommodated to the vegetation and terrain. The first level, from which one enters the house, opens to the north and south for the day areas. On one side, the service areas. On the other, a courtyard that bathes the master bedroom in light. A second level acts as the center of gravity of the complex and articulates the house on the plot. And a third level with three rooms, each with its courtyard, and a common space open to the south. A sequence of intersecting views where interior and exterior intermingle. Distant views. Close-up views. 4 courtyards and 27 oaks.
