The villa consists of three attached volumes that create a field of tension with the existing ruin that is a fundamental part of the design. Each volume has a specific function, with an appropriate floor height and ceiling height.

Inspired by the landscape, local terracotta culture and brutalist architecture from South America, we combined solid expression with authentic materials and refined detailing. The client played a central role in the realization of the design, allowing us to fully customize the project.
