Casa 720\u00b0 is conceived as a geometric exercise that expands the visual path of the circle and articulates the relationship between interior and exterior through a central courtyard. Designed as a device that records the passage of time, the house alternates between openness and seclusion: during the day it faces the distant landscape, while at night it folds back around the interior void.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The complex is organized into three distinct volumes: a main house with a circular floor plan, an independent studio that also serves as a guest house, and a rectangular building that houses additional bedrooms, service areas, and support spaces. The fragmented layout responds to both the topography and the preservation of existing vegetation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The houses form an architectural ensemble that fosters respectful coexistence among neighbors who are friends, without sacrificing privacy. Entry is through the front garden of each home, which, through visual connections and circulation, demonstrates a delicate balance between the communal and the individual.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The main house unfolds across two levels\u2014a ground floor and a rooftop terrace\u2014combining straight lines in the programmatic spaces with circulation defined by curved walls. These walls extend as terraces toward the courtyard and as gardens outward, establishing a sense of spatial continuity. The system of openings\u2014latticework, large folding panels, and framed views\u2014allows for adjusting the relationship with the surroundings and modifying the dynamics of the spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Nestled in a secluded valley, the house responds simultaneously to conditions of both shelter and openness. Its walls act as mediators between different environmental conditions\u2014forest and meadow, dry and wet seasons\u2014and between spatial scales\u2014center, interior, and exterior\u2014regulating temperature, ventilation, and exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The building integrates seamlessly into the landscape through its controlled height and the use of local earth mixed with concrete, creating a continuous materiality that harmonizes with the surrounding environment. This is further enhanced by passive design strategies and self-sufficient systems: rainwater harvesting, solar panel energy generation, and cross-ventilation throughout.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The project prioritizes minimal maintenance through the use of durable materials, without cladding or additional treatments, that age naturally alongside the surroundings. The house thus presents itself as a structure that, rather than imposing itself, adapts to the changes in the landscape and the passage of time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
