Casa Laguna is located on the shores of the Zapallar lagoon. Its location in a privileged corner, separated from the beach by a narrow strip of sand, and its perfect implantation in the plot makes possible its good orientation and an original volumetry that adapts to its conditions.
The house is divided into two floors, which separate the use of more public spaces on the first floor and the bedrooms on the second floor.
The project is located in front of Zapallar bay, 169 km from Santiago de Chile in the region of Valparaiso. An isolated house in the forest at 450 m above the sea level, on the southern slope of the hill where El Boldo Park, a sclerophylls’ forest, is located.
The project consisted of designing a beach house in the town of Zapallar. The property is set back from the sea on the eastern border of the town. Due to the steep geography, the ocean view is preceded by rooftops, streets, trees and hills. The urban view with the ocean behind inspired key aspects of the project.
Insertion of the project on the site. The implantation was designed as gentle as possible, in order to preserve the level difference of the site and the views. We created two side stone walls, like a programmatic box with the social and service areas of the house.
MO House is located at an area of steep slope facing the sea coast of Chile in the commune of Zapallar. The house is buried with clearly no intention to interrupt the wonderful view to the horizon from the public road,so it is accessed by stairs and ramps going deep into the mountain to discover again, from inside the house, the sea, coast and breaker.
This house is placed in the last third of a sloping site which it is accessed from below. This position determinates the construction so that the access path doesn’t interrupt the view of the near context of the house.
The whole program is developed in a unique level, with the exception of a bedroom, a bathroom and a guests living room that takes advantage of the acclivity of the site and appears below the main volume of the house.
