The social area is located on the highest level of the site, resting on the first floor volume. This arrangement guarantees the best views for the most permanent spaces, framing the treetops and establishing a privileged relationship with the landscape."
"The social area is located on the highest level of the site, resting on the first floor volume. This arrangement guarantees the best views for the most permanent spaces, framing the treetops and establishing a privileged relationship with the landscape. In turn, the roof of the lower volume is conceived as an accessible terrace, configuring a patio in height that reinforces the continuity between the house and its natural surroundings."
The Requena house sits in a gated community on the outskirts of Santa Cruz, Bolivia, sited on a steep, vegetated slope. The design responds to terrain conditions, with spatial organization and material choices shaped by slope and abundant vegetation. The social area occupies the highest level, placed on the first-floor volume to secure views and orient permanent spaces toward the treetops. The arrangement frames the landscape and establishes a close relationship with surrounding nature. The roof of the lower volume functions as an accessible terrace, creating an elevated patio that strengthens continuity between the house and its natural surroundings.
