Casa Valleverde

Casa Valleverde sits comfortably on the mountain bluff, with its linear volume nestled into the hillside. Approaching the house from the cobbled road weaving through the estate's heavily wooded plateau, the building's faint, low-slung silhouette virtually disappears in the surrounding vegetation. With its precisely detailed exterior skin and interior wood panelling, the house achieves an elegant clarity and rustic warmth that nevertheless avoids bucolic sentimentality.


Informed by careful conceptual studies of the most striking features of the context, a complex system of façade layers wraps around the building's geometrically disciplined volume.

The base façade layer is clad in untreated vertical pine and serves as the backdrop for a series of polychromatic wood veneer resin panels that reverberate the ever-changing hues of the surrounding coniferous trees.

Meticulously detailed, Casa Valleverde, is clad with stone and wooden panels, held apart by reveals that accentuate the structural rhythm of the house and align with the exposed engineering of the natural green forest.

Large open kitchen, with almost all that one required for the convince and easy of cooking great meals with friends and family.

The simple floor plan maximizes the common areas and bedrooms to comfortably accommodate family and friends, creating a wonderful second home.

Throughout Casa Valleverde exists the super imposition of natural and man-made components - natural cedar, resin-based wood veneer panels, glue-laminated posts and beams, exposed wooden and stone panelling - illustrating the aesthetic and functional characteristics, along with the durability, temporality, perfection, imperfection, between nature and technology.
