Article source: PAR Arquitectos The commission was to develop a house under the standards of the real estate business, a basic and optimized program complemented to a strategy of exterior terraces and main rooms open to panoramic views. Considering the terraced, square site with an average slope, with “moments” with an ocean view, we decided to set back the house to the back of the site, constituting a broad and long facade, taking the highest point of the site and a more panoramic view of the environment.

Formally, the house is structured as a long, clean longitudinal volume, framed in a black ribbon; hermetic on its sides and permeable to the front and back, with a programmatic cube set transversely that houses the more private area of the house, the master bedroom suite with a viewing terrace that cantilevers towards the vegetation and the sea.

To the south we design a corridor, creating a permeable facade that adequately links the interior with the garden and views.

The ceiling is made of eucalyptus wood paneling 1/2″x3″, anchored to the joists, forming a rigid diaphragm with the ceiling OSB boards and plywood boards of the mezzanine . All the walls between rooms are partitions with a double row of galvanized steel studs, covered with 15mm OSB boards and 15mm plasterboards.
