The project is located on the southern edge of the Solor ayllu, in San Pedro de Atacama, on a plot of 8,000 m2. with large areas of crops, which contrast with the rest of the desert that further south to other oasis.
​
Charge
​
The project seeks to create a home for a married couple settled in the town for more than 20 years, this being their definitive home. We are asked to have the house adobe in its walls and therefore, be cool in summer and warm in winter.
Proposal
​
A house is then proposed, developed by well-defined areas, both for the height of its floors that use small slopes in ramp as well as for its lag in plan.
​
In this way, 4 areas were generated, whose phase difference and slope, mark their functionality, thus being the highest area of ​​the house, along with the kitchen and terrace, which make up the public area of ​​the house. While the two bedrooms have a lower height, and have a greater proportion of walls than openings, allowing a controlled environment, unlike the public area that does allow larger openings, for its relationship with its immediate and immediate environment.
These 4 volumes, have their own covers generating a system of covers, that allow to visualize the house as a system of parts that make up a whole.
The gap, meanwhile, helps in the action of opening several positions to the landscape of the Cordillera de los Andes, which faces the land, but also, on the west, allows a greater surface of adobe wall that can collect the caloric energy and transfer it to the inside of each of the enclosures independently.
