House at the San Rafael Reservoir / De La Carrera Cavanzo - Image 4 of 21 — © Mateo Pérez

Text description provided by the architects. Designed as a vacation home, the house's primary purpose is contemplation. It is essentially formed by two opposing glass planes: the first overlooks the distant, peaceful landscape of the reservoir, while the second frames the intimate, immediate view of the forest.
