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.

Located on the desert coast of Chile’s Coquimbo Region, the project emerges as an architectural response to an extreme and beautiful environment — a territory shaped by sun, wind, salt air, and the occasional rain.
