Casa Azpitia Mala (Peru)
Set in a wild, natural setting, the house strikes a balanced relationship
with its surroundings, establishing a domestic feel with environmentally
friendly qualities. The continuity between the outside and inside areas
of the flooring is underlined not only by the uniformity of the ceramic
surface, but also by the unique solution adopted for the large glass
windows, which are positioned at floor level. The colour scheme and
surface finishes are specifically chosen to interact harmoniously with
the other natural materials used, as well as the surrounding landscape.
