The recovered endemic vegetation from the site integrates the construction into its natural context—transforming it from an imposition to a true part of the landscape. Local materials were used throughout the execution and finishing of the house, including volcanic stone walls that appear to emerge organically from the terrain.

The stone-clad volume houses the public areas: living-dining room, laundry, drying patio, and a guest bathroom. This volume is physically separated from the second structure, built in adobe, which contains the three bedrooms—each with its own bathroom and walk-in closet.
