The Ensayo Squalo is a house located on uneven terrain where an imposing tree guided the design of the surrounding walls. The project features an organic fusion between the tree and the residence, with its unique structure inspired by the ribs and open mouth of a shark. Initially planned to be built in wood, the house was constructed in iron due to adverse weather conditions, ensuring durability. With three levels, the ground floor interacts with the surroundings, the basement connects to the patio, and the upper floor offers privacy and tranquility.
