Llosa Cortegana Architects have designed a new single-family home in a unique enclave, the Bay of Paracas, a place where silence is accompanied only by the sound of the wind, in an always special territory, the desert on the southern coast of Peru, considered a reserve natural and sanctuary.
The architects for the project were based on the idea of process, sequences, and intervals that Jacques Derrida proposed in his writings on the conception of spaces, reflecting the idea of the architectural journey where the subject gets to know the different spaces that make up the building according to It is advancing in the internal development of the places it is creating.
A process that helps the project generate an imaginary built through layers of thought and interactions.

Villa Brava House I is a single-family housing project designed by the architecture studio Llosa Cortegana Arquitectos, where the program is generated from the intuition of the architects' lines. This irregular line generates thresholds that move with the eye through bridges, stairs, beams and planes, while inserting light and silence into the interior.
The patios are the intervals that divide the program from the habitable part, in addition to being the presence of the void generated by the desert. The house shows another unique element thanks to the length of the plot on which it is located, allowing the architects to design a building where you can enjoy the passage of time in the bay.

Project description by Llosa Cortegana Arquitectos
Paracas Bay is a place where silence is accompanied only by the sound of the wind, nestled in the desert of the southern coast of Peru, as part of a protected landscape, because of its condition of natural reserve and Shrine at the same time.
The architectural actions that we deploy in this project decant a constructed imaginary that is established from several layers of reflection. Readings and decodings through the process, place in a decentralized way, the understanding of the articulation and configuration of the architectural elements inside a house.

But they also come from the intervals proposed by Jacques Derrida about spacing, “…making an element function and mean only from the imprint on it of other elements of the chain… Spacing marks the absent becoming and the unconscious becoming of the subject".
The space is generated from the intuition of the projected stroke, the threshold moves along with the gaze through bridges, stairs, beams, and walls. The patios are the intervals of the domestic program and are at the same time the emptied presence of the desert. The house shows its uniqueness produced by the length of its lot and folds its interiority into the different routes, elements, and spaces, thus framing the enjoyment of the slow passage of time in the bay.

Llosa cortegana Arquitectos. Despite having studied at the same university, Patricia Llosa and Rodolfo Cortegana did not get to know each other until 2001 when they were called to take part in the same competition. They later co-participated in some others, as a result of the harmony that they found in their design methodology from the first moment, as well as being invited to teach in the same design workshop at the Faculty of Architecture of the Catholic University. As a consequence of such experiences, they partnered to found their own practice in 2005, under the name 'Llosa cortegana Architects'.
Patricia Llosa is an architect from Ricardo Palma University. She did the Master 'Architecture, Criticism and Projects' at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain (1999). She has participated in various courses, conferences and workshops on teaching and creating projects.
