Lifted on concrete stilts, Apus House comprises a series of glazed volumes slotted between exposed concrete walls ? portions of which are covered with wooden logs, as a reference to the forested surroundings.

Aguilo + Pedraza Arquitectos arranged the house as four volumes connected by a glazed, stilted passageway measuring 80 metres long.
Each block contains a different function ? including the bedrooms, main living areas, the m...
