Andreas Luco — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Known as "The Boomerang House" this architectural masterpiece seamlessly integrates into the coastal landscape, positioned in a privileged location from which it offers a unique experience that merges natural beauty with sculptural and functional design. A suspended bridge on a concrete wall invites us to enter the house, immediately captivating us with its innovative design centered around a transparent central void. This space serves not only as an efficient circulation axis but also as a pause point to frame the impressive view of the sea horizon from the main entrance.

Zapallar House Studio / Grass+Batz Arquitectos

Andreas Luco — Wed, 01 May 2024 06:00:00 +0000

The limitations of the site where the Casa Taller Zapallar is located suggest the construction of a house in the form of a long block, perpendicular to the coastal strip and on the flat section of the terrain. A block narrow enough to be located at the southeast end will allow protected views of the ocean without being seen by neighbors to the west and northwest. Assuming this fact, it opens the door to integrating a range of desires on how to inhabit this building.

House VF / Román y Basualto Arquitectos

Valeria Silva — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Inspiration. Casa VF was born from the observation of the sequence of the waves of the beach break, which generate different rhythms and approaches to the edge. From this observation, two volumes are projected, two sequences, mounted on a horizontal plinth that raises the views above the horizon of the sea, like the force of the east of the sea on the horizon.

El Pangue House / Felipe Combeau + Andrea Murtagh

Andreas Luco — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 16:00:00 +0000

Two hours' drive northwest of Santiago in the exclusive coast town of Zapallar, this weekend house was designed to reveal and heighten its specific context and benefit from the gentle Mediterranean climate that the central Pacific coast of Chile offers. Three specific site characteristics forced this project to search for a particular arrangement. First, the lot has a little ocean view bounded by a neighbor's house and a group of pine trees. Second, north sun exposure is almost perpendicular to the ocean view, and third, the site is limited to a protected creek full of conifers and native species.

House in Zapallar / Elton&Deves + Juan Carlos Chamorro Arquitecto

María Francisca González — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 12:00:00 +0000

The commission consisted of the remodelling and expansion of the main house and a new guest house on a plot with terraces and existing gardens that were subtly intervened with to gradually articulate the buildings with new courtyards and terraces that would allow the place to be occupied in its entirety, giving meaning to each space in an upward journey.

5 Beams House / Gubbins-Polidura

Valeria Silva — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 07:00:00 +0000

We had been developing many houses in sloped sites and the main issue in all of them was the connection with the land. That was what this client asked us to continue and emphasize for his project. They wanted a house connected with the ground and with the context but saving privacy, obviously privileging the sea views, but also the landscape of the hills behind. The challenge of the site was to work with the slope (20% average). Besides the connection with the ground, that is an architectonic issue, we must be able to solve technical problems such as the management of rain waters or the contention of the ground by proposing creative architectural solutions.

El Pangue House / José Ignacio Valdivieso + José Domingo Peñafiel

Valeria Silva — Wed, 09 Sep 2020 15:00:00 +0000

The project is located in a large, sloping site characterized by the presence of a very green ravine extended all along its length. Different strategically placed bodies make up the total of a system of parts that while being autonomous function as a whole.

165 House / PAR Arquitectos

Valeria Silva — Tue, 02 Jun 2020 15:00:00 +0000

On a site located within a condominium on the central coast, with a steep slope and a configured existing central plateau, a single-family house was designed defining the option of laminated pine as a structural skeleton, according to its correct behavior in the face of demands and efforts and its adequate properties in humid saline climates.

Origami House / Mas Fernandez Arquitectos + OR Arquitectos

Andreas Luco — Sun, 10 Nov 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Origami house is a vacation home located in the coastal region of Valparaiso, Chile. Away from the sea, it seeks for tranquillity and views of the nearby hills through the peaceful native surroundings of the inner ravine in which the house is built. To deal with an initially low-cost requirement, the house is thought out from its beginnings with prefabricated and modular materials, engaging in a fast execution which lowers the construction cost and enables the owners to inhabit the house in as little time as possible.

10 Roof Pavilion / Espiral

Clara Ott — Mon, 18 Feb 2019 06:00:00 +0000

The project corresponds to the design of the exterior and leisure spaces of a beach house in a condominium, located on a land in front of the sea and with a steep slope, on the E-30F road, between the villages of Zapallar and Papudo, in the V region of Chile.

Casa Manns / Felipe Assadi Arquitectos

Daniel Tapia — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 10:00:00 +0000

The general parti is a rectangular pavilion cantilevering over a slope, as if it were an apartment unit detached from a high building, slightly supported on the hill. The fifth façade that we usually develop on the roof is designed here on the base platform of the house: a ribbed, reinforced concrete slab that emerges from a base that contains part of the program.

Ghat House / Max Núñez

Rayen Sagredo — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 13:00:00 +0000

The house is located on a terrain that has a 25o inclination, facing the Pacific Ocean. Its design, structure, internal organization, and the lifestyle proposed within it were determined by the pre- existing conditions of the topography.

House H / Felipe Assadi Arquitectos

Daniel Tapia — Tue, 24 Apr 2018 11:00:00 +0000

House H is a reinforced concrete structure composed of a succession of longitudinal and transverse beams that work together to generate a single structural piece. As always, we prefer to inhabit a structure instead of structuring a room. In this way, we consider the technical feasibility of a project as its actual design resolution; feasibility is not separate from project design. This means that before becoming a house, the project is its own structure. Starting from the top down, the ceiling slab hangs from two main longitudinal beams on a north-south orientation, 41 meters long and 1.40 meters high.

Zapallar House / PAARQ Arquitectos

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 22 Apr 2018 12:00:00 +0000

Casa Zapallar is located in a coastal town, formed by a harmonious network of streets, an eclectic architecture with impressive gardens rich in flora. Zapallar is a place where tradition and modernity are joining. The people of the town are migrating, selling at good prices and yielding to new constructions.

El Boldo House / SUN Arquitectos

Cristobal Rojas — Fri, 23 Mar 2018 08:00:00 +0000

The project is located in front of Zapallar bay, 169 km from Santiago de Chile in the region of Valparaiso. An isolated house in the forest at 450 m above the sea level, on the southern slope of the hill where El Boldo Park, a sclerophylls’ forest, is located. The thick stone walls modify the extreme topography in habitable levels, achieving two horizontal planes, in between the forest, which gives virtue to the territory and roots the architecture in an intimate relationship with its environment and the forest that surrounds it. Its complex variety of materials is balanced and related accepting each quality and its contrasts, managing to moderate its conditions, matching the appearance between concrete, wood, stone, and marble, all noble and long-lived materials, which contrast its rustic and warm persistence, with glass and steel roof, materials that give a contemporary look, an innovative and mixed face to the outside.

Yellow House / Aguiló & Pedraza Arquitectos

Rayen Sagredo — Sun, 11 Mar 2018 14:00:00 +0000

The assignment consisted in designing a beach house in the town of Zapallar. The site is far from the sea in the eastern urban boundary. The sloping terrain makes the views towards the sea be preceded by roofs, streets, trees and hills. This quality of urban view with the sea in the background was what inspired the main operation of the project. We chose to build in height and take advantage of the described views. There are 3 small overlapped levels plus the roof. The bedrooms are located in the first two levels and in the third level the main room. Finally, an exterior deck in the rooftop.
