MURGA HOUSE

Residential Landscape Design

The Murga house is a housing project within a condominium called Hacienda Murga, which is in the Pisco Valley in the department of Ica, Peru. The immediate context is an agricultural scenario with more than 100 years of operation, where the traditional crops were vines, cotton, citrus and asparagus. The project is surrounded by nature, as it is located between the Pisco River and the Villacurí desert. Its proximity to the sea and its dry climate mean that the house can be used throughout the year. The architectural proposal designed by the office (architect Nicole Futterknecht) meets the client's requirements and the construction parameters of the Hacienda Murga. The landscaping approach complements the architecture of the house, since it creates natural limits, focuses views towards the desert, softens the transitions of the exterior spaces and aligns with the regulations of the condominium itself. The vegetative species used are native to the Pisco Valley, which guarantees harmony and visual synchrony between the landscape and the intervention on the lot.
