For the concept of this project, we developed a set of dynamic planes meant to engage the natural landscape which is rich in varied flora and jacaranda trees (particularly one located in the middle of the garden). The planes stand between an “L” shaped concrete structure that runs parallel to the plot. The glass system opens completely in order to integrate nature into the building. Each spaces has a proportion and a characteristic relation with the adjacent space, as well as a relation with the existing landscape.
