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.

We encourage designers and architects to share their best projects with the rest of the world so as to inspire the next generation and gain global recognition.
