Conceived as the place where the arid
Peruvian desert meets the
Pacific Ocean, this beach house located at Punta Misterio 117 km. south of
Lima, is an intervention where the integration of architecture and landscape was an important concern.

Sand garden roofs act as the extension of the desert; lap and recreation pools connect the ocean with the house, while a glass box hangs from the structure symbolizing architecture between sand and water.
