About the project
Jutting into a ruggedly terraneous landscape, the dwelling rises in contrast to a ravine. An elemental material interplay of glass, concrete, metal and wood, woo the architecture with clinical style and geometric allure. Architect Jaime Guzman and his team stirred a monumental challenge, tangling every niche and corner of the land into the soul of this home. At the entrance, a cantilever glass bridge leaps out in stark panache, arresting your attention with a gaping wow! Sensational living spaces stack in cubic volumes along with trees, shrubs and foliage in a contemporary expression.
