In the forests of Guatemala,
there is no shortage of scenery. Even in the heart of Guatemala City,
four volcanoes are visible. Although this home is tucked away, removed
from the bustle of the capital, it has the same spectacular scapes and
indeed the building, from architect Solis Colomer,
is largely informed by the nature that surrounds it. With windows
reaching from ground to ceiling to sky, nature provides a backdrop for
even the most banal daily activities while the human interaction with
the landscape creates its own view of sorts.
The home is open, airy, and bright but actually has considerable more division than many other contemporary
or ultramodern homes. The rooms are separated from one another,
demanding intimacy from anyone ensconced together in one or the other.
