Dualitas
-That Contains Two-
Two opposing volumes that intersect. One horizontal, permeable, malleable, alive and therefore perishable in its materiality. The other, solid vertical, immutable and closed.
This duality is lived in different temporalities. Linked to the use of space, the vertical volume has a transitory and short experience with an intimate character. While the horizontal volume that connects with the surrounding vegetation is the space to inhabit and connect.

The house opens in the day, allowing nature to pass from side to side of the space and closes at night to maintain the heat and the sensation of withdrawal proper to rest.
These circumstances make duality a recurring characteristic of the project and its core identity.
