Text description provided by architect.

The house is located in Chihuahua beach, Uruguay, on the dune that constitutes the first building line facing the ocean.

A structural system of columns, beams and slabs, made of reinforced concrete, places the “piano nobile” ten meters above sea level.

In this way, aside from reaching the best ocean views, it warrants a continuous and dynamic balance of the dune. This situation allows the interaction of the wind with the sandbars.

On the support formed by the structure and service base, two compact volumes are assembled articulated by a series of expansions that function as arrivals from the dune.
