The project seeks to make the house disappear within the landscape while a strong atmosphere is created in contrast to the immensity of the wild landscape. A series of patios establish a transition between the domestic space and the vastness of nature. Between these two poles, the shelter and open landscape, different zones where conceived in order to allow nature to become part of the house and extend the inner spaces to the exterior. The house is structured in one level and the roofing was designed as part of the landscape, where vaulted ceilings resemble the forms of the mountains.
