Enso HouseDesign Presentation

Enso house is a project where we explore the curve as an event and a way of adapting to a remote natural environment and little intervened by the hand of man.

The landscape is infinite wherever you look; it makes you forget the existence of man. Trees and bushes, huizaches and low grasses, highlight the horizontal nature of the terrain and contrast it with blue skies and intense sunsets. The golden and silvery vegetation, which is platinum due to the lack of water, describes a landscape that at first sight deceives you into believing that life is scarce. Nothing could be further from the truth.

It was that vegetation that suggested the materiality of the house, an artificial stone made of concrete would try to reconcile our irruption in the virginity of the landscape. The piece had to age with dignity and time would do the rest, integrating it naturally.

The house starts from a circle with an opening in the center that pretends to embrace the landscape, to pull it inward and at the same time to limit the vastness of infinity. The program of the house is developed in a central strip in which the public spaces turn towards the mountains while the private spaces turn towards a backyard that steals the sky to frame the sunsets and multiplies it over a sheet of water that pretends to refresh all the spaces of the house and to be an oasis for the hare that passed by us.
