House "The dogs"

Description:
The project House of the Dogs, located in front of Lake Ranco, is situated on a particular site characterized by its slope, direct views of the lake, and its narrow shape. This last feature prevents the project from being developed as a single large volume due to the demanding nature of the architectural program. Rather than being an obstacle, these conditions are turned into a series of strategies that emerge from the site's characteristics and are used to the project's advantage. The project fragments its program and creates a sequence of volumes that unfold along the site, generating a stepped arrangement of volumes, each offering direct views of Lake Ranco. A central circulation column is placed in accordance with the slope of the land, connecting each part of the program and its corresponding volume. The house is entirely constructed of wood, made up of a skeleton and wood cladding. The skeleton rests on the land without disturbing it, subtly utilizing the site's conditions to benefit the project and its program.
