The beach house was commissioned while Vivas was overseeing the construction of the house of Air Force Commander Guillermo Pacanins (Governor of Distrito Federal from 1950 to 1958) and was visited by the then president, General Marcos Pérez Jiménez, who, upon seeing the commander’s house, decided to buy the adjacent lot and assign the project to young Vivas. The house was a gift from builder Sergio Casado, owner of Iveca Company (Ingenieros Venezolanos CA), to the dictator in appreciation of the contracts he had obtained. Conceived as a large balcony overlooking the sea, all the rooms are oriented towards the horizon, and the details are handmade with Guayana woods like cartan, zapatero or cusavire. The bold structure, resting on sand, was calculated by Justo Pastor Farias, who designed a high structural wall to contain it, whose base extends below the street that passes level with the beach avenue. The acrobatically suspended elevated volume of the rooms is built on a couple of Vierendeel beams over the pool area supported by four slender columns. The home with fluid internal spaces, sloping roofs, open to the outside with shutters that filter the light, with white walls and stone floors, is a celebration of the way to elaborate modern heritage present at the time. The house is currently the official residence of the governor of Vargas State.
