Framed House
Sculptural living
2025
Residential,
Single-family
Framed House is drawn from a single direction: opening to the landscape without renouncing privacy. The home rests on a hillside to connect two worlds: the mountain rising behind and the city unfolding in front.
Each trace responds to this idea of balance: good orientation, privacy, comfortable living, and absolute precision in the junctions.
Here, the gestures are not grand, but they are measured to the millimeter. The lower volume, clad in large porcelain pieces, acts as a base. The upper one, white and clean, rests without setbacks.
A precise, contained, direct house.
To the east, introspective life: a bathtub with views, a silent study, calm mornings. To the west, shared life: the double-height living room, outdoor kitchen, pool, the pergola that extends 16 meters without supports. Between both, a ground floor that crosses from side to side, allowing the landscape to traverse the house.
Every material junction is considered.
Every orientation, measured.
Every void, justified.
Framing
to remember
At 16 meters long, without intermediate supports, the canopy defines the architecture from the entrance.
More than a gesture: structure, shade, passage, porch. It also integrates a barbecue, a bathroom and a storage room that extend the outdoor use.
And it frames the sky when entering. And the landscape, when looking from within.
A house
with two rhythms
The heart of the project is the transversal passage of light and air.
From the eastern mountain to the western valley, the ground floor traverses from end to end, as if the landscape passed through it.
Each room responds to a rhythm: the calm of the east, the energy of the west.
Precision
and fluidity
The first floor rests directly on the ground floor, without jumps or setbacks.
The white stucco contrasts with the light porcelain of the lower volume, generating a clean and direct reading.
The gesture is not grandiose, but it demands millimetric execution. And it shows.
The same porcelain covers walls, partitions, floors and even the entrance door.
The interior continues with light natural oak flooring, to gain warmth without losing light.
The materials don't compete: they add up, repeat, respect each other.
Light as
architecture
A skylight accompanies the stairs like a vertical line of light.
The double height of the living room lifts the air and opens the gaze.
Here, light doesn't just illuminate: it builds.
A house to see,
a home to look at
The upper volume of the home opens to the landscape, looking at the horizon, flooding the entire interior space with the exterior.
Light, breeze thanks to cross ventilation, intermediate spaces that filter privacy... are resources we take freely from the house's own design.
Again, the gesture of framing the view of those who look out becomes a visual spectacle, always ready with a simple gesture.
