The House of Tunquén is situated at an intermediate level that occurs at a terrain with a slight slope facing the North front of the Casablanca stream wetland. The house is intended as a decomposing horizontal block eventually converting into a forest.

The private enclosures are lifted up from the ground with the purpose of leveling everything over the depth of the natural landscape and can be accessed by a gallery surrounded by a section of native vegetation.
