The proposal consists of a volume raised from the natural terrain as a unitary block arranged horizontally with its front facing the view of Lake Ranco. This was supported by tubular steel pillars, to accommodate a large outdoor terrace at ground level, where the house itself plays the role of a roof. The entire exterior of the volume was clad in burned wood in the Japanese style of Shou Sugi Ban.
To access the house there are two options, the first is through a staircase that, contained within a core clad in stone, leads from the lower terrace to the level of the house. The second is from the upper level of the mountainside, through a perpendicular axis, which begins as a bridge in the north and ends as a terrace in the south.
The elevated floor plan is very clear and simple in the way it relates to its context. To the south it opens up completely in large floor-to-ceiling windows, while to the north tall windows allow sunlight to enter and at the same time generate a dilatation between the wall and the roof. This axis, which crosses the corridor towards the different spaces, organizes the installations: the front porch, the kitchen, shelves in the living room, closets in the bedrooms and, finally, at both ends it becomes part of the bathrooms.
The house contains three bedrooms, two of them for guests and the third, larger bedroom and art studio for the owner.
The layout of the enclosed space is intended, through its modular symmetry; to allow for common areas in the center, where the highest part of the quadruple drop roof is located, as well as the bedrooms and bathrooms at the west and east ends respectively.
