Promoting the dialog in Design and Architecture
In this website we have often presented houses blended in smoothly with the surroundings. This project in our opinion is not the case. Read the description, see the pictures and share your opinion.
"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."
