The rocky tract of land was cut before the project was designed. Our proposal was created having it in mind and adapting itself to the space and lightly embedding it to the setting. At this level is the main platform, here we set the entrance and service areas and on top of it sits the main areas of the house (the white box) which in itself has several different levels and is oriented in a way that allows us to always be able to contemplate the ocean. In this first level of the box (second floor of the house) is where the social area is located. Here is where through the center axis it opens in both sides to view the ocean. The sides of the box are sealed and structure the rest of the two levels that shape the house. This way the social area extends itself to the outdoors and connects visually with the natural setting.
