Located among native woodland overlooking the impressive Nevados de Chillan volcanic complex, La Dacha is the result of a site-specific design that combines a functional mountain layout with high thermal efficiency.

Towering just above the canopy, the vertical V shaped dwelling aims to follow the sun path with generous openings towards the north and west.
