A mountain in Pachacamac, 40 kilometers south of Lima, on the coastline, is the place chosen to build this house that was designed especially for the removal of a philosopher. The relationship with the site was achieved by burying the house on the hill and making it part of the landscape as well.
Given this condition interior exterior relations, light and shadow are very contrasting.
