Conceptual Architecture
Details
The main idea of this house comes from the plot , becouse it has several handicaps. A 56% slope rising from southwest to northeast, with a road to the north and east imposing itself on the plot. However, this plot stands out on the east side where a large valley is located. This house solves the problem in the most respectful way: it is buried to the north and east looking to have privacy from the road; and it flies in a way that is integrated into the slope to have the views of the valley but without standing out in the topography.
The Jury‘s Statement
The challenge with this building project is that the plot is located on a steep slope, but this led to an elegant solution. The ‘Villa Brezo’ literally blends into the landscape. The building provides an uninterrupted view of the valley, while at the same time offering protection from the neighbouring road.
