"Although we spend most of our time indoors, we are really outdoor animals. The forces, which have selected the genes of contemporary man are found outdoors in the plains, forests and mountains, not in centrally heated bedrooms and at ergonomically designed workstations. Fifteen generations ago, a period of little consequence in evolutionary terms, most of our ancestors would spend the majority of their waking hours outdoors, and buildings would primarily provide only shelter and security during the hours of darkness."

The essence of Puestos is to be an extension of the surrounding landscape and culture. To take the wisdom from local techniques and typologies, to project these pauses in the walk in a contemporary language. The Posts are committed to enriching the natural environment, offering the traveler the leisure and pleasure of perceiving this landscape, from the experience itself. The experience of waking up to the stimuli of a geography and a climate: the cutout of the sky; the perception of changes in brightness throughout the day; the gradients of privacy, shelter and temperature.
