Brasília-DF, 2018
The steep slope towards the back of the lot between its two sides have directed the project. The proposal starts from a strategy that defines the maximum area allowed for the occupation of the house and then projects plans of different levels of ocupation and adaptation to the existing topography, aimimg to exacerbate its perception.
The maximum height on the main volume´s perimeter is fixed while different inclinations of the lower part of the roof were manipulated to adapt it to the resulting topography in order to “compress” the internal ceiling heights towards the center of the occupation, opening it up again towards the existing woodland in the backyard.
