Daily Dose Monographic Images 1611 | HW Studio - The Hill in Front the Glen "After crossing the tree threshold, going down a few solid pearled stone steps, and opening a heavy steel door, a concrete vault stands there, supporting the loads of the green bed sheet that rests on it; it gives a sensation of being inside a cold, dark, but strangely cozy cave. As for the spatial organization, on the left side of the house are the public areas completely exposed to the wooded ravine, and on the right side the private areas open more timidly to a courtyard that allows to see the sky and the top of some trees but that closes a bit towards the outside. It was important to have very few references of elements that would connect to a specific moment in time, so the refrigerator and appliances were hidden, the lighting was arranged very discreetly, and only the four main materials were included: stone, wood, concrete, and steel. It was very important for the client to preserve the rough and primitive atmosphere of being in the mountains." Incredible photographs by Dane Alonso, César Béjar.
