A detached villa built three decades ago and characterized by its contemporary lines and traditional essence, was left to near abandonment during the last few years. This is the starting point for the intervention in this habitation.
Taking as an advantage the local topography, solar exposition and privileged views, it`s the main intention to adjust the existing house to new necessities and comfort of the present, through the construction of two new volumes for the suite and kitchen, preserving exteriorly the existing trees.
The house organization through the central functional existing axis culminates with the new suite volume, and a direct connection to the garden area and exterior parking, created in the height difference between the new volume and the existing natural terrain.
