This house has been designed for a client who desired that the structure's exterior walls be capable of framing different views meanwhile maintaining space for hanging art from his private collection. The cylindrical form of the house responds to these conditions while making it possible to articulate the facade in a differentiated manner -according to the interior space it responds to. Thus, the design of the somewhat irregular facade obeys the degrees of privacy desired for a particular space inside the house. The access to the house, which is completely informal and unstructured, as the absence of a garage, have been made deliberately to emphasize the object condition of the structure. Equally, the compact form of the house permits it to occupy a reduced print of the site, minimizing the impact on the area's existing vegetation. The house has been designed to be constructed with prefabricated panels of concrete. The use of this technology will help to reduce final costs, the necessity of maintenance for the exterior (because terminations will be of exposed material), and the total time of construction.
