This modern house on a hill is located in Las Casuarinas, Lima, Peru, and has a stunning view of the capital. Designed by architect Javier Artadi and completed in 2002, the residence uses striking geometric forms. The property sits on a very steep slope, and the pool projects outward to create a dramatic panoramic view.
Modern house on a hillside: location and architecture
The house is located on a slope and can be reached from both sides. Visitors enter from the upper side, where the main entrance is located, or from the lower side of the steep slope, near a park. The program includes typical spaces such as the living room, bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and bathrooms, as well as a gym, sauna and a small apartment on the top floor.
The house on the hill: design and interior
The modern house on the hill is organized into three rectangular volumes joined three-dimensionally. The first contains the main vertical circulation, the second runs parallel to the street and contains the bedrooms, and the third is perpendicular to the slope and contains the living room, terrace and garden with swimming pool. The remaining rooms are arranged in the background wall and smaller secondary volumes. Overall, the residence reads as a strong architectural volume that contrasts with the natural topography of its modern setting.
