How fitting that the House V, located in a town that was given the moniker “Garden of the Province” was built around a grass backyard. Rather than demolishing the greenery, architects I + GC [arquitectura] have designed a home which takes advantage of the landscape and resembles two outstretched arms embracing the herbage. Totaling 800-square meters, the contemporary property is equipped with a two-car sized overhead space and swimming pool, as the living room is strategically situated in front with a large “V”-shaped glass windows facing the recreational area. Giving a sense of movement, the large concrete mass appears stretched due to the apparent angles, window placement, and the use of the two levels.
