The initial idea of this project is to integrate housing in the natural environment in the residential area that is, directing the superb views of lakes and tree extensions that extend the areas of urbanization.

The porches and pergolas, volumetric elements such as housing give personality to the facade. The roof disappears as such became a flat roof as an expression of the evolution of the creative process.
