Description:

The property, located at the foot of Lake Vichuquén, in Region VII, is housed in a longitudinal direction to the horizon, with the aim of recognizing the variety of the landscape and capture the best views of the lake, through a corridor running along the terrace entire space.

The volume is defined as a large pavilion, a body that rests quietly on the territory, mimicking the slope and vegetation. All the stillness of this body is eroded on its cover, which folds into different prisms looking to capture the overhead light and views of the treetops, bringing into spatial perception of living in a forest.

Internally, each building its own space atmosphere light and scale, in a wooden enclosure walking floors, walls and roof, away into the sky. A concrete volume intersects the wooden pavilion in the rear, as a longitudinal wagon, blind and empty walls that contain within them all the wet housing program: bathrooms and kitchen, where every toilet enclosure opens patio light content within its walls.
