The Mirador House

by: Basecamp

This project, commissioned by a very particular client, takes place in a residential neighborhood in the east of the city of Lima. The challenge: to solve the program and user requirements on uneven ground with a very steep double. The location of the lot and the view of a portion of the city would be crucial for the development of the proposal.

The main objective of the customer, an elderly lady, was to begin a new phase in his life and felt an air of renewal and modernity. The project should respond to this need and ensure the functional comfort for daily functioning.

The idea was to generate a volumetric architectural modern, transparent, bright minimalist but also include some concepts of the modern movement architecture of the 30′s. Likewise this should be addressed to resolve the outstanding issue of generating a free floor unevenness. We chose to have the income at the midpoint of the lot and develop 75% of the project at this level. The bridge of income, social area, full service and master bedroom are located on this floor, while deposits in a garage and lower level. The second floor houses a bedroom full of visits to welcome relatives living abroad.
