The house is located in a gated community, with a terrain of high to very high slope. It also has a breathtaking view of the city. Since the lot is already oriented with the master plan of the community , the best view of the lot is only seen obliquely in relation to the main axis of the lot. We created a tilting box from the y axis to maximize the vista. This can be clearly shown from the red massing clearly with a different axis from the ground floor. This red massing houses the 2 main bedrooms of the house, the tilt also blocks off the neighbors house from the inside. A long cantilevered roof also blocks the structure from the micro-climate, heavier winds and rain, of the community.
