Text description provided by the architects. The project is located on the coastal edge of Punta Hueso, in the Coquimbo region of Chile—a setting dominated by the coastline, rocky outcrops, and the low-to-medium-height vegetation characteristic of the country's near north (Norte Chico). The design is based on a grid of nine quadrants, consisting of eight perimeter wooden quadrants and a central circular concrete one. This central quadrant rises to serve as the home's entrance by way of a sculptural element, a project in its own right: a helical staircase. The house is elevated to protect the local flora under preservation, while simultaneously maximizing unobstructed 360-degree views of its surroundings.
