Before making any type of design proposals or conceptual principles for the project, the existing formal limitations were analyzed, which meant that the proposal was developed based on three conditions: the first is related to the internal regulations of the condominium. The second is related to the required program and finally the capacity of the local workforce to carry out the work. Through these three requirements, the project develops its architectural concept, its integration into the plot, its program, its exterior spaces, and its energy certification.

Located in front of the sea, the project solves its program on a single floor by condominium regulations. To be located so close to the ocean meant solving the factor of the south wind that constantly blows on the central coast of Chile. Because of this condition, the project closes towards the south incorporating an interior patio with north orientation, protected from the wind by the built body. This patio welcomes the inhabitants on windy days and the evening programs are also located (barbecue/fire).

Pichilemu is one of the main attractions in the country today as it brings many foreign surfers, that have even stayed forever. Pichilemu is characterized by the usual south wind that does not always allow comfortable terraces and patios, restricting outdoors enjoyment. In turn, the main view, which attracts great attention to visitors is of the Morros de Punta de Lobos, two huge rocks that are international surfing icons, located to the south west of the house, in the same direction in which the wind blows.
