Here's what Pitagoras Arquitectos had to say about it's design for CS House in a recent article:

"The built body results from a manifested desired integration with the uneven topography that characterizes the land it occupies. Thus, the house is addorsed to the land, with the objective of defeating its accentuated slope."

Translation: "We built the house on a hill"

"All floors are contemplated with covered or uncovered verandas and patios that are closed off or open to the landscape, creating variable possibilities of inhabiting spaces, taking advantage of the light and scenery that change with the different seasons."

Translation: "Sometimes we built walls, sometimes we didn't."
