Dellekamp Arquitectos began to work on the project without a defined program and site, so a modular system was designed based on a triangular grid that allows adaptation to different locations and changing needs of the program, which allowed transformations during the design process. The design of Casa de Suiza abides by the materiality of the original House of Switzerland made entirely of wood, a traditional way of building in Switzerland.
