However we may nurture nostalgia for traditional houses, we have to admit that contemporary architecture does fascinate us and equally challenge us through their bold and unconventional lines and the endless options to identify new ambitious shapes. We will today take a look at a rooftop deck house which bears the signature of the Peruvian architect Jorge Masino Prados, built in an area stretching between the Isle of Asia, south of capital Lima, and the coastal foothills of the Andes.<\/p>\n
The house features a single floor because the zoning allows only such structures to be built, but the space is almost doubled by the deck on the rooftop, partially covered. The architect was careful enough to add storage space in the basement. The reason for this single-level rule is so that everyone living in the area can enjoy the \u201cessential joys\u201d of sun, space, vegetation, and the view over the desert landscape between the Pacific coast and the foothills of the Andes, according to Contemporist.com<\/p>\n
