The Khyber Ridge is a house designed for a professional snowboarder. The spaces for this property will articulate through a steep rocky slope, but also looking for the best visual relationship with the existing natural landscape.
The house contains 5 levels ranging accommodating different spaces. At the bottom is a space that meets guests implemented for closed characteristics, being literally embedded in the rock favoring privacy. In contrast, the glaze is a volume to be opening to the landscape and it is projected to run a plant cantilever virtually free from interior partitions. At the top level in both, the bedrooms are spaces that make the backup and bedrock height advantage to get the best possible view.
