The Referent and the Order
The house is born from a reference from the anatomy of a coral, where a body branches in 4 in search of light and views, this is the order of the house. In section, these bodies are worked with different heights.
Structure
The project, proposes a house separated from the ground, specifically at 2.5 m from the natural land level, is structured on 2 levels, the first with pillars, beams and bracing diagonals, designed to in the future accommodate new bespoke enclosures that the family is growing. The second level is composed of 1 ramified body in 4 bodies that open to increase the distant panoramic views. The main space is structured with trusses and pillars armed in wood like a shed. The bodies of the bedrooms are structured with traditional partition walls and the body of the terrace with a set of woven woods that form structural palisades.
