House of the Flying Tiles
After understanding this constellation of ideas, we sought to encourage spaces that
allow timelessness, so that the owner was able t immerse in reading. These spaces seek
an intensification in the relationship with some externalities such as: the mountain, the
low vegetation, the sky and with the Guirachuro (a kind of bird of the place).
The place
For the location of the house an event was held with the owner in which we met to be
able to witness the sunrise. This was fundamental to understand where the sun rises and
to have that relationship in mind during the whole project. It is to be beard in mind that
we also looked for a place where the trees gave us a hugging and embracing feeling.
The house was adapted and placed among multiple trees, which none was removed, so
the house is inserted into the place as if it had always been there, highlighting the
location of the flora principally. The house is oriented to the view, for the contemplation
of the mountain, of the neighborhoods, and of all the plants and trees of the place.
The shape
We seek to make spaces that are discovered, to be traversed in order to experience the
house. From the arrival to the house, we sought to have a recognizable abstract defined
volume (a metallic structure is assembled that hangs old and new tiles). When entering
the property volumes and planes appear which are projected towards the view or
towards the trees which generate different heights and connections in levels. It is a
surprising experience.
The mother volume that covers the entire house, is configured as an impluvium with a
light on its lower side (in the equinoxes will enter the light vertically), the interior is
made of ground floor and of a double height to the view. To the outside is a sloping
terrace contained by the hanging tiles for reading.
The second volume is the one that configures the bedroom, and its figure corresponds to
a very astonishing visual connection where it appears that you be lying in the interior
and in the upper part it appears to be lying down or sitting on an inclined plane seeing
the mountain in the same way.
The third volume on the other hand is flat and it embraces a tree, all its foliage is present
in the bathroom.

Your illusions
The design of the house was born in a search of the essence of the owner. For which it
is inquired on many of the topics related to it. From that essence it was identified a lot
of creativity, a playful spirit, innocence, exploratory features, surprise seeking, sensory
experiences, aim to discover, valuing processes, interested in mutations and changes in
space. In this process, much of the characteristic of the owners character were absorbed
and personal meanings were worked on. Due to the passion of the owner for the
illustrations, it was established that it was fundamental to get involved in the owner’s
logic and make illustrations as a design methodology (a book was made).
