The House 258 is born of the principle of respect for nature and preserves the existing woods in the terrain. The result is an architecture that, on the one hand, opens at sunset and the surrounding valley, having its facade marked by the golden tones of concrete in the sunlight.

Casa Amankay reveals itself slowly. A stone staircase rises through dense vegetation, setting the rhythm of arrival. The surroundings invite a slower pace. To the right, a tall, leafy tree commands attention; on the opposite side, a vertical volume seems to respond, holding a quiet balance.

Located on the coast of Los Vilos, in northern Chile, this residence is conceived as a refuge in close dialogue with the landscape. The aim was to create architecture that frames the horizon and allows the sound of the sea to be heard, while providing shelter from the southern winds characteristic of the area.

The future owners of this 1880s, 4,000 square feet rowhome, were originally looking to move for a more urban experience. In the fall of 2010, they fell in love with a vintage Victorian row house close to the neighborhood of Logan Circle, unaware of the history behind it. Due to discrepancies in 19th century paperwork.
