House in Miramar - the place and the opportunity
- House, Project & Construction
Located on the closing lot of a subdivision in Miramar, the house occupies an exceptional position — the highest and most open point, with a wide view and a direct relationship with the sunset light.
The plot
The plot, slightly elevated in relation to the street, offers an immediate architectural advantage: a natural distance from the public space, which translates into privacy, comfort, and serenity.
Organization and interior life
The House in Miramar is distributed over three floors, intelligently adapting to the terrain's slope.
The basement, partially buried and leveled with the street, houses the garage and a game and leisure room, lit and ventilated by an English well.
A set of exterior stairs establishes a direct connection between this level and the garden on the intermediate floor, reinforcing the continuity between the arrival floor and the garden floor.
The intermediate floor, in direct contact with the garden, is the social heart of the house.
Here, the living room and kitchen communicate visually and functionally, separated only by a dining counter that extends the conviviality.
Natural light crosses the space from south to west, drawing luminous variations throughout the day and bringing the outdoors inside.
The upper floor is the private domain.
The four bedrooms, three of them facing west, enjoy open views and an intimate relationship with the movement of the sun.
The main bedroom, with openings to the south and west, follows the daily cycle of light — from dawn to dusk.
Form, light, and privacy
The house is open and luminous, but also protected and controlled.
The glazed facades allow for a dialogue between the interior and exterior without compromising the privacy of the spaces.
Transparency is calibrated: the house exposes itself to the landscape, but protects itself from external views.
Sustainability and permanence
The construction is marked by technical robustness and formal clarity.
The thermal insulation of the facades, the choice of high-performance glazed openings, and the quality of the materials ensure permanent thermal and acoustic comfort, with low maintenance and high durability.
Summary
The House in Miramar is an exercise in integration between form, topography, and light.
A project that transforms the specificity of the plot into a serene and functional home, where architectural rigor is combined with residential simplicity and quality of life.
