SOLAR HOUSE

Casa Solar is a commission for a family that chose to live in an environment of high natural and landscape value. The house has a surface area of 250m2 and is located in Villa Parque Siquiman, on a plot of 1850m2.
The land consists of a natural ravine, 10m deep, which acts as a drain for the entire surrounding area, channeling rainwater into Lake San Roque. The soil is rocky interspersed with bushes and abundant mountain forest, which absorbs part of the water that passes through the place. From the street, the views towards the Lake are very wide and change depending on the time of day and year.

The house is positioned in the depth of the ravine, using the cavity to support the house and reduce its visual impact from the street, as well as to protect it. The existing humidity is used as a buffer for temperature differences, the forest vegetation acts as a double protective façade from the sun and wind, the visuals participate in the spaces of the house through reflections, different levels of light and shadow, and solar energy is used in a controlled manner through a mobile roof.

The house is structured from an empty space. This intermediate and interstitial space highlights the environmental and visual relationships with the natural environment, creating a structure that evolves over time, with life, with humanity, and with architecture.
The void incorporates the contemporary time and energy of sustainable thinking, adding to the fluid and moving time-space in a simple but significant way the energy and thermal control of the interior spatiality, creating diverse atmospheres. The possibility of the cover being closed by a motor that is activated according to the temperature, completely in moments of full solar incidence, and of being graduated according to the solar radiation necessary for the interior conditioning, both in winter (necessary insolation) and in summer (controlled insolation) produce a novel fact where the qualities of the interior and exterior space change according to the amount of solar energy necessary to produce comfort and energy savings.
