TOCOTA HOUSE

Weekend Housing on a Rural envioroment ASOCIATED ARCHITECT, ALEJANDRO VELEZ TROCHEZ Profesional Project Built

Is given the solicitude to design a weekend house in a rural property with a very irregular topography, located on the western mountain range, the initial strategy is to create a platform partly rested on the terrain to take advantage of the high ground to focus on the view of the natural landscape enclosing the building

As the building extends the level of the terrain descends until the space is capable to receive an additional story, accessible after you walk all the terrace and go down by an external staircase that end the platform

The project focus itself to create the illusion us only touching the ground and levitating a bit over the land, using light materials and a thing metallic beams to create bigger opening onto the landscape illuminating all the spaces

Almost all the materials shine their own colours and finishes trying to transmit the honesty of themselves and making a closer relationship to the environment.
