The single family home explores a hybrid typology between building and its the natural landscape, using the site’s slope to shape its form, circulation and environmental performance. The family house is located in el Pulté, a luxury golf club located in the sloping hills surrounding Guatemala City’s valley. The residence makes use of both the traditional Guatemalan courtyard typology and the site’s natural slope to produce a stepped landscape as the house’s main gathering space. The slope produces a playful interior garden suitable for old and young generations alike, being subtle enough for seniors to access every space through a network of ramps yet varied enough to offer a sublime play space for children.
