Article source: Chetecortes Architects The land is sloping on a rocky hill away from the beach, has trapezoidal shape (471.9m2) and borders on the sides with 2 neighboring lots. The house is created in levels (Terrace 1 and 2, basement, First and Second Floor) to take advantage of the view of the sea, not only horizontally but also vertically. 15 years ago, there were no beach houses in the south of Lima , people spent the summer and festivities making camps. Families and friends gathered and built tents to sleep around a central space, where the grill, the dining room and the campfire were located. People walked barefoot day and night, they could feel the temperature and texture of the sand, the cold and the heat. Around the central space, they met until late at night to enjoy the outdoors (sea, stars, fire and friends), meals, parties and conversations were held.  Image Courtesy © Chetecortes Architects

The houses improved the conditions of life and recreation, but they also moved away from the meaning of living on the beach, lost customs, spaces and moments of meeting with the family. The house is created to rescue from the past, spaces and moments forgotten by modernity, experiences lived in the camps and now, being within a concrete construction, are often lost by new materials, which are no longer considered the sand and the stars are part of them. However, concrete and brick have no responsibility, but we, the architects, forget who we are for what and for whom we design.
