GK House 2016

It is an intimate house made entirely of concrete, with its back to community life, open to the landscape, related to the environment and with a careful treatment of light.

The problem of the steep slope of the terrain is solved with a volume at street level that houses the entrance conceived as a sculpture and complemented by a mirror of water next to which is located the staircase that descends to the lower level, immersing residents and visitors in a totally private space.

With a simple distribution, this house becomes an oasis of serenity and tranquility, from inside you can only contemplate nature separated by a glass window that is collected in the form of an accordion for the enjoyment of outdoor life.
