Article source: o2 Arquitectos The development of the project for this single-family home in the traditional neighborhood “El Golf”, located in Las Condes, was a great challenge due to the difficult shape of the land, with a front of just over 5 meters and an irregular geometry that widened towards the rear. “L” shaped. It was necessary to arrange the location of the house making the most of the spaces, meeting the need for parking and trying to leave a more private garden area, separated from the access.

It was decided to design a narrow, long and raised pool, generating the necessary height in all its contour to create a deck seat and thus configure the terrace space. Likewise, in the small space that remained at the back, it was designed to finish off with a long barbecue on a stone floor area.
