El Rincón House / Juan Carlos Sabbagh Arquitectos

The project proposes a suspended volume over the ground that rotates with respect to the street, facing north to seek the sun and distant views of the Andes Mountain Range. This volume, made up of a concrete parallelepiped, is intervened as a granite sculpture. Through the excavation of the volume, in a play of full and empty, the spaces of the program are accommodated. To highlight this sculpting process, some walls are left polished and others textured, just as the contrast between the cut planes and the untouched faces of the natural stone remains.
