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.

Typology
Residnetial › House
The site is located on the coastline and facing north with a view of the sea, which allows gathering the best sights and orientation in the same direction (uncommon situation in Chile). It is for this condition that the house is designed as two perpendicular volumes covering the maximum width of the site.
