House in La Calera
concept visualizationA hillside house, published in Mobiliari (2019).
A volume that follows the contour line.
The house is set along the slope: a brick and glass volume rests on a stone base and opens towards the valley. The brick wall shapes the approach and gives privacy on the entrance side; the living room, facing two ways, takes in the light and the view. Built between 2007 and 2009 and published in 2019.

The curve at night
The curved wall reappears at night, allowing the same geometry to be compared under a different light condition.
The house at dusk
The night image brings the brick volume and stone wall together, presenting the house as a composition tied to the slope.
On the slope
The slope view reveals the house’s position on the terrain and complements the night presentation of its volume.
The curved volume
The curved brick volume focuses attention on one of the house’s parts and on its exterior geometry.
Living towards the valley
The living room opens towards the valley; the brick fireplace and timber floor frame that relationship from inside.
First section
The first section documents the house’s vertical dimension, allowing exterior views to be compared with an architectural sectional reading.
Second section
The second section complements the first, extending documentation of the hillside house from another sectional position.
