The V house overlooks the distant view of a wetland as well as to enjoy a native garden.

The V house is nested along a high slope to avoid the volumetric presence in favor of a branched horizontal extension.

Its mainly a structure of glass, flexible and modular that defines the geometric structure.

Transformations occur due to the design process

Branches

Like branches of a tree, the V House falls over the site, and branches into two arms that separate the program into two different heights:

Above: the social arm, bridge, and terrace

Below: to private rooms and services

The main trunk of the building is a library that starts the journey staggered from the house.

Separation

The arms are separated in two ways: the inner courtyard distances them through a native garden, and different heights as stated before.

These two actions allow the ramifications to equally enjoy the distant view of the wetlands.

Parti

The parti of the V house is a series of rectangles.
