Sloping House / Claudio Santander + María Ines Buzzoni
The Sloping House owes its name to the dual condition of assuming the slope of the pre-Andean range of Santiago and self-acquired family debt, which confronts us with the revisionism of our own way of living, inhabiting, and projecting. As the first decision in starting this family project, we took on the slope and inhabited the continuous space, embodying in this domestic space a conscious search experienced in almost 20 years of professional practice, which set a roadmap for the project: the house had to be traversed, it had to allow for communal and individual life, the social, work, and contemplation, the functional and the aesthetic. As a foundational act, we traced the spaces with chalk on the ground and captured with a device the views that each one wanted to frame (see photos by authors).
