[Text as submitted by architect] The house, located in a natural environment, is conceived as a space for cosmic connection. Its ground floor is organized through a modulated grid of columns and continuous spaces, challenging conventional limitations and embracing the fluidity between its interior and exterior spaces, promoting their integration through strategically located patios that capture fragments of nature, fusing the external dynamics with the intimacy of the home.

Flexibility is not only spatial, but is also intertwined in every detail: the configuration of the partitions allows spaces to be easily redefined, adapting to changing needs over time, promoting functionality, durability and continuous mutation.

The perforations in the structure blur the boundaries between public and private, while the slab platform merges the domestic spaces with the garden and pool, expanding the views towards the surrounding landscape.

On the upper level, a study crowning the living space provides access to a green terrace, an oasis in height. Continuing the ascent, an amphitheater invites a gradual contemplation of the sky, offering a vantage point to connect with the cosmos and enjoy panoramic views.
