SITE ANALYSIS
01/SITE ANALYSIS: TOPOGRAPHY AND ELEVATION The slope of the terrain is visually represented using a color code, making it easier to identify areas with steeper inclines and contributing to the planning of the house’s placement.

01/SITE ANALYSIS: WATER RUN The natural terrain channels runoff flow towards the property’s edges, taking advantage of the slope in its favor. This creates an optimal central space for the house’s location.

13
01/SITE ANALYSIS: WIND DIRECTION The following chart shows the prevailing wind direction, which comes from the southwest and moves northeastward. This information guides the arrangement of the house to take advantage of natural ventilation.

01/SITE ANALYSIS: SUN PATH The following diagram details the annual movement of the sun on the terrain, guiding the orientation of the house to optimize views and promote an efficient design that maximizes natural light.
17
01/SITE ANALYSIS: GREEN MASS AND VIEWS The presence of vegetation in the environment not only influences the ideal location of the house in relation to the terrain’s topography but also directs the dwelling towards the most prominent visual elements, such as the ocean and the lush mountain vegetation that surrounds it.

01/SITE ANALYSIS: SENSORIAL ANALYSIS The following analysis aims to integrate data on topography, runoff, and immediate context to assess various situations within the property related to views of the forest, levels of privacy, sound experience, and property accessibility
Zone 1 Acces to the residential area
Zone 2 West residential placement, view potential to the forest
Zone 4 The vegetation mass creates a visual and auditory barrier to the property, providing a sense of privacy and tranquility within the property
Zone 6 The southern entrance can serve as a secondary access to the property.
Zone 3 East residential placement proximity to the forest
Zone 5 West base. Intimate and quieter space
Zone 7 Central Valley Intimate and quieter space
Zone 8 South forest The vegetation is denser, which creates more shade and a cooler temperature.
27
01/SITE ANALYSIS: DEVELOPABLE AREAS The following analysis aims to identify optimal areas within the project for housing placement, utilizing prior data related to factors such as sunlight exposure, runoff, terrain slope, and site phenomenology
Base 1 The area closest to the entrance. It provides an optimal field of view towards the forest. The placement of the structure on the terrain can follow the natural slope of the land.
Forrest area In this section of the property, the terrain is level, but experiences a high level of moisture due to runoff. The utilization of this area can be more ephemeral in nature for the project, serving as a landscape extension of the house that connects with the nearby forest and river.
Project placement
Base 2 This area shares proximity with the forest located to the east of the property, creating a sense of privacy and tranquility for the project
