The House in Las Casuarinas located in Lima, Peru, was created by Javier Artadi in 2002. It is set on a land with a steep slope which provided it a privileged position with amazing views of the city of Lima.
The house consists of a complex housing program with typical environments and a mini-apartment on the top floor.
The program is organized into three boxes as it follows: the first one houses the main vertical circulation, the second one accommodates the bedroom and the family room, while the third one contains the main room.
Funny how the steep slope gives amazing views, yet probably makes carrying groceries a full workout. Who needs a gym when your house doubles as a stairmaster? Irony at its finest in architectural design!
Absolutely! The slope offers stunning views but definitely turns everyday tasks into a workout. It’s a perfect blend of beauty and challenge—a true testament to thoughtful, dynamic design.
