Bosques de las Lomas

The CH73 House is located in the Bosques de las Lomas neighbourhood and occupies a long, slender site that slopes down toward a ravine.

The house extends 20 metres over the site

"Within this context, the CH73 House is born as a self-sustainable proposal that breaks the imposed paradigms of construction in the area," the studio said.

CH73 House was designed with passive ventilation strategies

Energy consumption has been minimized through passive strategies like optimal orientation and natural ventilation. The supply of electricity is facilitated by solar panels and a "geothermal foundation pile."
