For creating simple forms and for its functionality, as practicality is one of the characteristics of brutalism. We have chosen to call it a block house. You only have to look at its appearance to know that it is a house with a different appearan...

An architectural concept, a house among the canyons. Is it possible to build a house of difficult terrain? The ravines and deep drops of canyons can be used as a habitat for a retreat from nature. Deserts have their own charm, where you can gaze out from the heights and rest on the heights immersed in meditation.
