Adorned with authentic hand-hewn heavy timber and stone with big grout joints reminiscent of old-world craftsmanship, the home imparts a warm and lived-in feel appropriate for a full time family residence.

Residential › House
A simple house of rectangular plan with a gable roof respecting the local character of the countryside and buildings is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, which is followed by fields and meadows. Because of its direct contact with the surrounding greenery, it looks as if it grew naturally out of it.

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.

The clients’ ten-year-old son had outgrown his former room, and the entire attic floor, spanning 95 square meters, was allocated for him. The space was generous, yet the low, straight ceilings created a sense of confinement. Designer Oxana Mazurina proposed dismantling the walls and the gypsum board ceiling, unveiling an unexpected expanse.

Eddie is a terrace renovation, built on a small 140sqm site in Melbourne’s Fitzroy North. Our brief asked for an improved three-bedroom, one bathroom home. As is common with old terraces, they sought more natural light, better airflow, and privacy. They also wished for a garden; a green oasis that would provide peace.
