Site plan

The house is oriented towards the northeast, providing a wide view of the Osorno volcano. Its design allows natural light to illuminate the interior both in the morning and in the afternoon. The construction, which combines wood and steel beams, is suspended from the ground to integrate with the natural environment and offer a better view of the surrounding landscape. The typical wooden sheds of the region were used as a reference.

Roof plan

The gable roof and eaves are designed to efficiently face the north wind and winter rains, as well as the south wind in summer. Inside the house, the height favors better natural lighting and ventilation. In addition, it has continuous windows that provide continuous lighting from side to side of the roof. Its excellent thermal and acoustic insulation is due to the use of recycled paper cellulose.
