Article source: Gabriel Rudolphy It is located on the edge of Lake Rapel, two hours from the city of Santiago de Chile. The project is composed of three levels. On the upper floor are the common spaces of living room, kitchen, dining room, terrace and services. This level has a roof, an inclined plane that gives hierarchy to the spaces with their height ranging from 4m to 2.7m. On the middle floor, the three bedrooms and bathrooms are located, and finally the lower floor has a versatile living space, with a second terrace, which connects with the ground and the lake.

We wanted to find simple solutions, simple finishes, but arranged efficiently, to achieve an optimal result for users, with low maintenance and high durability and finally move their inhabitants with the quality of the spaces and their relation with the landscape.

To achieve both, the house is located perpendicular to the slope of the land, generating small and precise terraced levels, to avoid large earthworks and on three compact levels, to decrease the occupation and erosion of the land, achieving good height and views. The idea is to integrate the architectural volume into the natural environment surrounded by trees, as if born from the ground. Our intention was to achieve a harmonious dialogue between the artificial and the natural. The accesses are designed as walkways that connect the building at its different levels, with the natural terrain and its path between the tres.
