Text description provided by architect.
The assignment was to build a house on a site ment for planting vineyards and produce wine in particular in a condominium located in the Casablanca.
We proposed to do a cut in the hill and locate the house a bit separated from it. Leaving a more intimate courtyard protected from weather conditions.
The vines will cover the entire hill and the yard from the hill to the upper terrace.
In a few years the house will be immersed in the vegetation and geography, while keeping its intimate space, the courtyard, and also the most exposed upper terrace.
The whole structure and wall tiles are made of pine. In the interior the wood was lighten with watery latex and sealed with clear varnish.
Gray paint “Ecopinturas” was applied to the outer tiles
