The property has a narrow foundation and the natural condition of the area allows for unique distribution of spaces. The aforementioned high walls are meant to keep out the winds of Valle de Guadalupe. Machcillas states, "The architecture and interior design of this project synergise by developing a leisure space using [natural materials available in the area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-quinto-sol) that allow its composition to speak for itself within each of the spaces; wood, volcanic stone and natural fabrics are some of them. The natural conditions and the urbanization where it is located, have a close relationship in their materiality and form; a home that nourishes from the exterior to reflect on the interior."
