This monolithic volume elevates carefully, embodying the transition between private and common areas. Following this value, the house unfolds in layers. Private areas are submerged into the ground, offering a direct connection with the earth, while amplifying a closeness with nature. As one elevates to the common areas of the house, passing through the kitchen area to the living room, a spectacular view is revealed.
The solidity of this structure is interrupted only by two large openings, framing the views of the landscape. The intent is, initially, to create a protection from the strong winds located in the area, as well as to define a sense of privacy and protection. Each space is illuminated by skylights, creating a unique lightning experience every minute during the day. Private areas are enclosed in interstitial volumes which create a void with the ceiling, allowing sunlight to keep its uninterrupted flow.
House 6° is a minimalist manifestation. Rising out of the brown soil, this radiant white form contrasts with the deep blue sky, creating a sense of timelessness. As a reaction against noise and vulgarity, each space embodies the need for serenity, clarity, silence. Through simplicity and purity, an almost temple-like home is created.
