Casa Roca is located in Yosemite Lakes, a prime location offering exceptional natural surroundings and stunning views of the national park. This house was designed with the primary objective of maximizing these views and creating visual transparency.


The distribution was planned to orient the living spaces towards the most impressive views. This was achieved through the strategic incorporation of openings that not only let in natural light, but also connect residents with nature even when they are inside the house. Moreover, at the center of the project, an outdoor space has been created where residents can fully enjoy the tranquility and serenity of the natural environment that surrounds them. Another relevant gesture in its composition is that the slope of its roof corresponds to that of the mountain.


In terms of materials, the decision was made to use exposed materials in dialogue with the mountain's natural surroundings. Wood is the main protagonist, with a dark tone on the outside that blends into the environment, and warmth on the inside. Materials such as stone and concrete are also used. Covered floors are left bare, and the presence of three large surrounding rocks creates a link with nature, generating a sense of continuity with the surrounding rocky landscape.


In short, this Yosemite Lakes house was designed to offer visual transparency, allowing residents to feel immersed in the mountainous setting and natural elements to become an integral part of the Yosemite Lakes living experience.

Casa Roca se encuentra en Yosemite Lakes, una zona privilegiada que ofrece un entorno natural excepcional y unas vistas impresionantes del parque nacional. Esta casa se diseñó con el objetivo principal de maximizar estas vistas y crear transparencia visual.


La distribución se planificó para orientar los espacios habitables hacia las vistas más impresionantes. Esto se logró mediante la incorporación estratégica de aberturas que no sólo dejan entrar la luz natural, sino que también conectan a los residentes con la naturaleza incluso cuando están dentro de la casa. Además, en el centro del proyecto se creó un espacio exterior donde los residentes pueden disfrutar plenamente de la tranquilidad y la serenidad del entorno natural que les rodea. Otro gesto relevante en su composición es que la pendiente de su tejado se corresponde con la de la montaña.


En cuanto a los materiales, se eligió el uso de materiales expuestos que dialogan con el entorno natural de la montaña. La madera es la principal protagonista, con un tono oscuro en el exterior que se mimetiza con el entorno, y cálido en el interior. También se utilizan materiales como la piedra y el hormigón. Los suelos cubiertos se dejan al desnudo, y la presencia de tres grandes rocas circundantes crea un vínculo con la naturaleza, generando una sensación de continuidad con el paisaje rocoso circundante.


En resumen, esta casa de Yosemite Lakes se diseñó para ofrecer transparencia visual, permitiendo a los residentes sentirse inmersos en el entorno montañoso y a los elementos naturales convertirse en parte integrante de la experiencia de vivir en Yosemite Lakes.
