Details

Our project proposes to maintain the trees, that means not touching the roots or digging, so we propose to FLY. Thus, we achieve a double objective, respect the existing pines and get a magnificent green 'garden' (without water cost) as are the top of the pines. A garden and views without the need for maintenance, nature manages it in exchange for not disturbing it. The challenge now was to achieve a comfortable, respectful, private and flying home; therefore, the right level of access was chosen to gain privacy from the street and reach the top of the pines on the opposite side.

The Jury‘s Statement

This detached house impresses with its innovative construction, which prioritizes the preservation of existing vegetation. The building, which seems to float above the ground, offers a harmonious connection with nature.» Villa Las Nubes manages to balance privacy and openness by cleverly integrating the pine landscape.
