It is of course a magnificent house and the Neutra lessons well explored. However this type of architecture makes difficult the reduction of thermal exchanges with outside (a lot of thermal bridges are there) and then, is a little bit overpassed by the current concerns of durable development which are looking for low energy houses or even passive houses. Todays architecture should look for new ideas meeting the new constraints of compact design, external isolation, solar energy capture, low production energy materials, etc.

Terry, it is interesting what you are saying. I was actually referring to the Kauffman house approach which in my view is not your ordinary urban plot size (at least in Santiago it wouldn’t be) To me it is clearly in connection with the landscape that surrounds it and at least from pictures you do not notice the boundaries of the plot but the surrounding hills etc.And the way the house opens in various directions and the views you obtain from inside and from the intermediate spaces to me, are due to the plan organisation. Anyway sounds great you have lived in a Neutra house, wow. Take care

[...] Built on a lot located in the east side of Santiago, this contemporary Chilean home was completed last year and built amongst old-growth trees in a neighborhood the owners have lived in for nearly 30 years. Designed by architects at 57 Studio, the new concrete and steel Fray Leon house was built around an ‘H’ formation, which mimics the floor plan of the home it replaced and prevents any disruption of the existing landscape. The interior of the home is aligned to a series of trees. The center wraps around a native tree, a Cryptocaria alba, while the north side opens towards a massive avocado tree; a south wing reveals a macrocarpa cypress and the westernmost wing looks out upon an ashleaf maple.

For many years I lived at Richard Neutra’s VDL research house in Silverlake and in 3 other Neutra houses in Los Angeles. My experience is the opposite of what Yerko is indicating. In fact, the VDL was built as an experimental exploration of what could be done utilizing the maximum space available within the lot lines of urban infill architecture. There was no requirement for expansive horizontal spaces in order for Neutra’s architecture to flourish.

While I agree that there are elements of this project that recall some of RJN’s lessons, they are not dependent on space. Neutra was at his best confronting the real problems of urban living.

It demonstrates how perennial Neutra’s approach is. When you have lots of space (such is the case in Chile’s affluent areas as it was in Neutra’s Californian study houses), buildings designed expanding horizontally ( Neutra’s spinning organisation) just by doing that they embrace the surrounding natural landscape. It just works so well. Congratulations from London.

A magnificent celebration of horizontality.

I’d have one.

very nice. i love the straight lines and simplicity of this design. has a lot in common with FLW’s early work i think.

What as magisterial presence this house has. The rear elevation I find particular inspired with its twin pergolas extending the interior spaces and the majestic tree that dominates this facade.

It is a little bit hard to tell without seeing the building in person but the materials palate doesn’t quite seem up to the rigor of the volumes. There just may be a few too many textures for my taste. Perhaps I believe the volumes and proportion speak for themselves without the need of the slatted ceilings or mixed flooring. However, these are minor criticisms in a magnificent project.
