Ziba House / Gonzalo Mardones V Arquitectos

Valeria Silva — Sun, 05 Jul 2026 17:43:00 +0000

The house is located in the commune of Colina, on the outskirts of Santiago de Chile, and was designed for a young couple of doctors. The brief required integrating a residence with a home office, as they both work remotely. The architectural program is highly straightforward: the ground floor houses the study overlooking the garden, a guest bedroom, the kitchen, and the living and dining areas, while the upper floor contains the bedrooms for the couple and their children. A key aspect of the design was integrating the house into its semi-arid landscape, which determined its orientation, ensuring the main rooms receive sunlight throughout the day. The house faces north to maximize sunlight, while the street-facing facade remains opaque to provide privacy for the family.

The CASALEMA is located on a sloping terrain in Valle Escondido, on the foothills of the Andes, in the Chilean capital, facing a natural park.

Daniel Sánchez — Fri, 24 Apr 2015 14:00:34 +0000

Terraza Offices, built in 2014, responds to a request from an important real-estate group. A radical architectural element was chosen: the building refuses to the west (sun) with a large blind wall with ventilated façade that forms a gap of 6 stories high for circulation, turning into a great hall that naturally ventilates and lights up the whole building. This emphatic stance resulted in an energy efficient building that is in process to be LEED Gold Certified.
