The house is located at the front line next to the sea of a few lots condominium, in the north zone of Matanzas. The land that is part of this lot, is formed by a slight slope that leads to a 65-meter cliff, ending at the beach.

For the general design of the house, three main factors were considered that were decisive in the decision-making process: to protect an exterior sector from the strong south-westerly wind that prevails in the area, to maintain privacy from the neighbors on the north and south sides, and to take full advantage of the sea view.

This work corresponds to a vacation home, the first construction within a condominium located a few minutes from the town of Matanzas, Navidad.

Given the conditions in which it is located, the first thing was to look for the distant views of the Pacific Ocean and the immediate territory, such as the existing vegetation, the ravines and, of course, a good orientation that allows the work to maintain sunlight throughout the year and good ventilation.

Fa house is a project with a privileged location in the top of a hill located in the coastal mountain range. This location allows a panoramic view to the central valley of Chile in the East, with its main glaciers and mountains, such as Mt. Aconcagua (6.962 msnm) and Mt. El Plomo (5.424 msnm), and the Pacific Ocean looking to the west.

Even if this location provides a panoramic view, its gets strong winds from the South and the North.
