Text description provided by the architects. The site, characterized by native forest and a steep slope, required specific clearances from public agencies, which defined the area permitted for deforestation.

A rectangular area measuring 42.5 by 10 meters, perpendicular to the condominium's internal street, was approved and ultimately determined the main footprint of the residence.

A three-story glass prism clad externally in rustic tiles of travertine marble over masonry rises from this clearing. The volume is carved with continuous openings, exploring the interplay between solid and void. These openings form porticoes with standard ceiling heights where they sit atop the plinth housing the car shelter, or greater heights where they preserve the site's original topography.

The ground floor, dedicated to the entrance sequence and private quarters, is positioned 1.2 meters above street level. The two lower levels accommodate service areas, garages, caretaker's quarters, and a game room.

As if a second structure were delicately resting atop the lower mass, the attic consists of a white steel frame with wide eaves and pergolas. It is enclosed in glass and surrounded by landscaped terraces and an infinity-edge pool that projects over the forest—a light, transparent counterpoint to the stone volume anchored to the terrain.
