The LP2 house is located on a flat terrain in a wooded area in the outskirts of Guatemala City. Although the design requirements were very abundant, the main goal was to generate a dialogue between vegetation and the volumetry of the house, and express that communion.<\/p>\n
Divided in two stories, the lower floor is destined to the social area and services. Interior spaces were generated in the same proportions as the outdoors to create a balance. Contrast was also managed through the type of materials including tougher materials in the interior and softer in the exterior.<\/p>\n
Wooden floors contrast with the exposed concrete of the walls. Since this is a cold area, there is a fireplace at the center of the social area combining with concrete stairs and furniture poured in situ to generate warmness with the exterior.<\/p>\n
All the existing trees were kept and are located in important places according to the design of the house . The trunks of some trees are embraced by some structural elements, The house also is perforated in Order to produce skylights providing luminosity to the house.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
