Amazingly, the rotatable portal acts as a moving wall to transform the foyer\u00a0and living area into one massive\u00a0open-air room. Meanwhile the lowest level is a well appointed home office, leaving the Gutemalan home\u2019s highest point to the privacy of the master suite and a pair of guest rooms. As a result of their superior vantage, the private bedrooms offer amazing views of the forested valley.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-192519\" src=\"https:\/\/thatdope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Arquitectura-Aylvalaan-House-Guatemala-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"442\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-192522 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thatdope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Arquitectura-Aylvalaan-House-Guatemala-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"912\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Named for the owner-couple\u2019s first home,\u00a0Paz Arquitectura\u2019s Aylvalaan House makes extensive use of board-marked concrete for structural elements, making it a central, contemporary feature\u00a0which anchors the design of the\u00a0rectangular volumes embedded into\u00a0the face of the\u00a0Guatemalan hillside. Other modern design elements like a\u00a0front facade dressed in floor to ceiling windows is matched with other industrial materials like steel and glass and aesthetics, like exposed beams and the exterior ground floor painted in white. That said, the colder style elements are balanced with an abundance of warm-toed conacaste wood in the floors, decking and stairwells as well as built in cabinets.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loft nooks and numerous patios, extend the inside-out architectural philosophy, allowing the\u00a0Aylvalaan House\u2019s inhabitants to pull the lush greenery into the comfortable confines of their living space rather than force them to go outdoors \u2013 this serves to temper and soften the brutalist architectural style. Natural light has also been optimised with the many floor to ceiling windows which share the awesome living vista to live-in residents.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-192520\" src=\"https:\/\/thatdope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Arquitectura-Aylvalaan-House-Guatemala-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\"  \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-6\" class=\"gallery galleryid-192511 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large\">\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon portrait\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.luxuo.com\/properties\/luxury-locations\/paz-arquitectura-aylvalaan-house-guatemala.html\/attachment\/paz-arquitectura-aylvalaan-house-guatemala-17\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"541\" height=\"775\" src=\"https:\/\/thatdope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Arquitectura-Aylvalaan-House-Guatemala-17-541x775.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\"  \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon portrait\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.luxuo.com\/properties\/luxury-locations\/paz-arquitectura-aylvalaan-house-guatemala.html\/attachment\/paz-arquitectura-aylvalaan-house-guatemala-16\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"775\" src=\"https:\/\/thatdope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Paz-Arquitectura-Aylvalaan-House-Guatemala-16-562x775.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\"  \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<p>\t\t\t<br style=\"clear: both\"\/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div data-da=\"24\">\n<div class=\"luxify-listings\">\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<h6>Luxify listings<\/h6>\n<p>&#13;\n            <\/p>\n<div class=\"luxify-listings__content\">\n<div class=\"luxify-listings__body\" id=\"luxify-listings__body_5b20fe9324561\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"luxify-listings__loading\" src=\"https:\/\/thatdope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/the-richard-mille-rm-67-02-introduces-a-trio-colours-of-expression.gif\"\/>\n                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.luxuo.com\/properties\/luxury-locations\/paz-arquitectura-aylvalaan-house-guatemala.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An alchemy of glass, concrete and wood, Paz Arquitectura\u2019s\u00a0Aylvalaan House in Guatemala city is a striking three-story residence in the forested hillside on the fringes of Guatemala\u2019s capital characterised by rough, orthogonal, concrete outcroppings and expansive glass panels.
