OVERCOMING THE CONSIDERABLE UNEVENNESS OF THE TERRAIN, THE TETRA RESTS ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF THE INTERVENTION AREA, WHERE THE PRISM IS DIVIDED BETWEEN GARDENS THAT CREATE A BIOPHILIC EXPERIENCE FOR THE RESIDENTS AND ALLOW THE ARCHITECTURE TO BREATHE.
THE VOLUMES WERE DESIGNED IN A WAY TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF THE HOUSE WITHOUT MAKING IT FORMALLY OPAQUE. STRUCTURALLY THERE`S A FOREST OF PILLARS THAT START FROM THE SAME POINT, TRANSFORMING THESE PILLARS INTO THE SUSPENSION OF THE UPPER BLOCKS, AND ALSO ELEVATING THE STRUCTURE OF THE HOUSE TO A SCULPTURAL ELEMENT INTRINSIC OF THE PROJECT.
