Article source: CRISTIÁN ROMERO VALENTE ARQUITECTOS The AV house is located in a steep slope. It is an uneven terrain next to a gorge that looks to the south, and it does not face the sea at the east. In order to not miss this view and to protect it from the wind, the house was partially rotated facing east, offering direct visual access to the Pacific Ocean. The highest point of the house lines up with the street level and the parking space. This way the view to the sea is not blocked.  Image Courtesy © Pablo Casals Aguirre

This allows that the sea is at sight from inside of the house, as well as from the surrounding outdoor spaces. The access ramp functions as an independent element that connects the street and the parking space with the house. The need of an access ramp constitutes an architectural opportunity: In order for the ramp inclination to offer suitable mobility and a smooth circulation, it was required to establish a separation between the house and the street.

Once inside the house there is an access hall with a balcony that looks towards the double height living room. The balcony also offers an open view to the coast. The material used for the construction of the house is reinforced concrete with board-formed finish. The purpose of this choice of material is to make the marks visible of the goodgrain when painting it white. This choice of color aims to further the effect of a luminous atmosphere that extends to each enclosure within the house, complemented with a series of skylights and light courtyards.

It is connected to the rest of the house through a circulation route constituted by the ramp and the hall. This way the circulation is an ascendant path that rounded off with the horizontal line of the roof, which works as a spot to contemplate the sea.
