Text description provided by the architects. 7 considerations for a house on the andes tropic
1. on the placement
The house swims through the lot, generating its own space between the trees - without cutting down any. The geometry of the house adapts to the geometry of the space between the trees.
2. on the section
The space is generated after a series of variable sections. This sections are configurated on the following incremental rule: If there´s a tree, the roof folds. This way, it generates several living spaces.

The program and the requirements of its inhabitants are distributed among 4 volumes. Each one builds its own landscape, giving autonomy and freedom to each and one of them.
Module 1. Garage, dining room, kitchen, services.
Module 2. Terrace and saloon.
Module 3. Kid´s rooms
Module 4. Main room and studio.

6. on the order
The surface of the house is organized around two stripes. One, on the outside, manages the opening landscape to the trees through variable sections. The other, to the inside, acts as a light, temperature and views filter.
7. on the domestic architecture
The house is a system of perceptions and exchange.
