Capiro House

External wishes: we were asked for a Tudor-style house and when visiting the lot we found a nearby forest, a green plain and a blue-toned mountainous landscape.

The design of this house represents our interests in deploying the longest possible membrane that allows a very wide number of visual relationships with the surroundings and landscape. Likewise, creating a rocky-looking, angular surface that bends and folds to relate the interior and exterior in different ways, and locate the house between the plain and the forest, so that it behaves like its X-ray.

The plan opens in different directions to allow the construction of liminal spaces, creating interior gardens and volumes that configure undefined spaces where it is difficult to differentiate inside and outside.

The facade of the house seeks to create an echo of the adjacent forest using vertical elements of Choibá wood, as well as stone cladding in black and concrete.
