ELEMENT HOUSE IS ABOUT BALANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY. THE FIRST CHALLENGE WAS OVERCOMING THE LARGE DIFFERENCES TO ACCOMMODATE THE PROJECT PROGRAM WITHOUT MAJOR EARTH MOVEMENTS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT AFFECTED THE LOCAL ELEMENTS.

 

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE LEGAL CONDITIONS, THE PRISMA IS MOVED TO THE LIMITS OF THE LAND IN ORDER TO CREATE A GARDEN THAT MAINTAINS THE MAINTENANCE OF THE MICROCLIMATE, IN ADDITION TO FUNCTIONING AS AN AREA FOR ABSORPTION OF SURPLUS OF RAINWATER CATCHING.

​

OPPOSITE THE GARDEN IS THE RESIDENCE'S SOCIAL AREA, WHICH OPENS TO THE GREEN MASS OF THE PRESERVATION AREA, WHICH PRESENTS ALL THE VIEWS OF THE HOUSE, OCCURRING IN THE NORTH FACE, RECEIVING THE SUN ALL DAY. TO GUARANTEE PRIVACY, A GARDEN OCCURS ON THE FRONT FACADE, ALSO PROTECTING THE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT FROM SOUTHERN WINDS, BALANCE THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE.

 

CROWNING THE TOP VOLUME, A SOLID LANDS ON THE BOTTOM LAMINA, WITH STRATEGIC OPENINGS FOR A PRIVILEGED VISUAL, AND FOR THE WATER MIRROR, WHICH ACTUALLY CONTROLS HUMIDITY, ALSO BALANCES THE MICROCLIMATE.
