Altozano Private house with lake viewPrivada Altozano casa vista al lago

Designed to look, breathe, and live with the senses awake. Casa de piedra does not impose itself: it settles in, adapts, listens to the site before speaking

From its conception, this house respects what was already there: two native trees, a jabon and a chaca- that were not obstacles, but a compass. They dictated the layout and orientation, and are now living guardians on the facade; they are not decoration, they are soul. During the day, they filter the light, projecting dancing shadows across walls and floors, creating a silent spectacle that makes you lose track of time

The ground floor opens with honest generosity: a continuous, fluid public area, with views that cross the house from side to side until they reach the lakes in the residential development. A study or fourth bedroom is discreetly integrated, ready to adapt to the rhythm of the home.

The heart of the home is double-height, not as a whim but as a necessity: this makes it possible to experience the lush trees from inside, as if the foliage were part of the house

The materials speak softly, but firmly: lime plaster, local stones such as calcite, exposed steel. A blend of the industrial and the ancestral, where texture has memory. Every piece of furniture was custom-designed, signature pieces that reinforce the unique character of the place.

The backyard is an intimate scene: a circular jacuzzi-style pool, space for contemplation, hammocks hanging beneath natural shade, a place to surrender to the moment.

Upstairs

Two symmetrical secondary bedrooms, with views framed by the vegetation and a shared bathroom. A primary bedroom that faces east and west, perfect for watching the sun over the lake and looking at it.

Hide behind the foliage: a study suspended above the double-height space, a contemplative nook where the height of the space is immersed in inspiration.

Casa de piedra is more than a refuge: a manifesto of respect for nature. Every trace of every material, every void responds to the site; it does not impose itself: it takes root in what already exists, and in that gesture, its beauty is born
