As the first design operation, the flat horizontal plane is established as a predominant element on the natural inclined plane.

 

These design intentions are referred to conceptual systems, in this case, a search of contrast and spatial balance that manifests between the functional and artistic, between order and expression, between heavy and light, opaque and transparent, thus producing convergences between the horizontal and the vertical.  Among other perceptions, we highlight the combination of possible materials such as metal, concrete, brick, glass and the relationship with a previously established equipment (door and furniture), witnessing a sensitivity between the built and the human scale: an architectural emotion.

 

A horizontal plane that floats, rising from the ground to join the horizon, the landscape, through a main platform. Another horizontal plane at the height of the landscape that looks like the deck of a boat. A horizontal plane to look here for "remoteness and calm". An architecture always at the service of the man who lives, who dreams and thinks.
