A Home Designed as a Dialogue with the Landscape
House VHC by FH2L Arquitectos is conceived from the very first sketch as a fluid conversation between architecture and its natural surroundings. A refined water feature leads visitors toward the entrance, establishing a serene rhythm that carries throughout the home. The arrival sequence unfolds through a foyer illuminated by a skylit patio, where shifting light and shadow create a soft, contemplative atmosphere.
As lead architect from FH2L notes, “The goal was to design a house that feels discovered rather than imposed — a place where nature introduces the architecture.”
A Three-Level Composition Crafted for Clarity and Comfort
The residence is organized across three levels, each defined by purposeful function and spatial clarity. The ground floor embraces open-plan social living, where the living room, dining room, kitchen flow seamlessly toward the garden and pool. Indoor–outdoor connectivity is effortless, encouraging a lifestyle centered around openness, air, and natural light.
The upper floor houses the private suites, each designed with terraces and carefully framed views that maintain both intimacy and spaciousness. Below ground, the basement accommodates utility and technical areas, executed with the same precision and architectural care as the rest of the home.
In the words of the design team, “We wanted each level to breathe on its own while remaining part of a coherent architectural experience.”

Light as Architecture’s Most Essential Material
Natural light is central to the design narrative of House VHC. Patios, expansive glazing, and adjustable lattice screens curate illumination throughout the day, balancing brightness, privacy, and environmental comfort. These elements dissolve the boundary between inside and outside, allowing the home to transform with the shifting daylight.
Material choices enrich the sensory experience: stone adds grounding texture, while warm wood introduces softness and a tactile sense of warmth. Louvered elements add depth and adaptability to the façade, responding dynamically to sun exposure and privacy needs.
FH2L explains, “Light is not an accessory — it is the architecture itself. We crafted every volume to receive light in a meaningful way.”

A Landscape-Driven Architectural Strategy
A core achievement of House VHC lies in its integration with its surroundings. Volumes are positioned to minimize visual impact and maximize connection to the outdoors. The garden, planted with native species, extends the living environment outward, while the pool forms a reflective plane that animates the architecture with movement and calm.
The design is deeply rooted in sustainability. Passive strategies, cross ventilation, and thermally efficient materials reduce the home’s ecological footprint without compromising comfort or elegance. Every choice, from volume placement to façade design, is made with long-term performance and environmental respect in mind.
As the architects summarize, “A home should grow from its site — not sit on top of it. House VHC is our commitment to timelessness, calm, and harmony with place.”
