The house Entre Árboles is located in the middle of the lot making space between the existing trees.

The design for the floor plan of Casa Entre Árboles was respectful of the existing nature in the place. The house occupies the free spaces left between the trees, allowing the program to be organized into 4 modules, making the most of the remaining site.

Casa entre Árboles takes part of the forms of transition: on the one hand, in the articulation of the volumes it allows to form a patio, amorphous and partially incomplete in one of its sides. While, in one of its modules, a terrace, an intermediate space, opens to the landscape allowing contact between inside and outside, without belonging to any of them completely.

In tune with its surroundings, for Casa Entre Árboles located in an urban area but surrounded bv trees and nature, black stone, concrete and Pine wood were chosen as materials for the façade. The purpose was to give texture and to avoid having a plain facade.
