Alric Galindez Arquitectos have complete house on the mountain located in Bariloche, Argentina. Built on 2008 with 70 sqm exterior area and 591 sqm interior area. The house is a result of several stone boxes piled up on the side of a sloping area. Each one of these cases points and frames an outstanding view, where can find Catedral, Otto, and Ventana mountains, as main characters of the landscape seen from inside. To maintain the coherent to the harsh and wonderful surrounding, the architect use local stones, trying to create the idea that the house was always there, just as another rock or an unnoticed natural feature.

The space is organized so that it can be divided in different zones, depending on the number of persons that are actually using the place. During most of the year, the house can be used by areas, smaller homes inside the big house for single couple trips or for groups of friends in leisure plans, or even both of them happening at the same time. These variety of layouts transform the inside life of the house, growing, changing, adapting, evolving.

The social area is placed on the access level, dominating the best views captured by white calm boxes from inside, opposing to the overwhelming exterior. The master bedroom, and the guests room share this level too, each facing a different mountain, in this surprising kaleidoscope of sights. On the ground floor level, the rooms for the kids, shaped by the land slope, creating different situations and volumes, and a two level loft, due to a sudden depression on the terrain becomes the boys master space.
