Modern House Design | AL House | Santiago | Chile | Gonzalo Mardones Arquitecto

AL’s house is located in Lo Barnechea District at Santiago’s foothills. Its volume locates like a longitudinal bar perpendicular to the street with the double purpose of facing North (Sun and better views) and allowing a big free space for the garden. The proposal consists of a barbeque gridiron – external kitchen at one end of the area in order to embrace the place.
As usual in our works, we chose a unique building material, in this case, reinforced concrete and just one finish, which was the organic texture of color from the area’s dry fields. All woodwork, windows, and floors are made of cedar wood. Interiors are entirely white in order to allow the light bounce and multiply architectural light filtering through walls and ceilings.
The roof is a relaxation place, resulting in a cedar wood deck that allows a space to be open to surrounding geography......more

Modern Chilean House | Casa Pirehueico | San­tia­go | Chi­le | Ale­jan­dro Ara­ve­na Architects

Be­ing the weath­er con­di­tion very ex­treme, we start­ed tak­ing as less risks as pos­si­ble; we be­gan with the most con­ven­tion­al dou­ble sloped roof. Slow­ly, we moved on, ex­tend­ing one slope or the oth­er un­til touch­ing the frames on the perime­ter, look­ing for the views, but try­ing to avoid the winds. The rule for the win­dows fol­lowed the same prin­ci­ple of a surfer en­ter­ing the sea try­ing to avoid big waves: ei­ther you be­come shal­low or nar­row. If the win­dows were fram­ing a ver­ti­cal el­e­ment, like a tree or a path in the for­est, then they had to be nar­row. If they were fram­ing an hor­i­zon­tal view, like the lake or the vol­cano, then they had to be flat......more

Beach House Design | Los Molles House | Cachagua | V Region | Chile | dRN

The irony of not having direct view of the ocean on a seaside house appears as a possibility for orienting this beach house towards a more unexpected landscape. The open horizon of the Pacific has been replaced by the view the near hillsides to the west, and to the protected space defined by a group of preexisting trees. This independent backyard, isolated from the intense summer life of the beach town of Cachagua, offers a calmed retreat to take distance from the city. Here, the close relation to topography stimulates spontaneous exterior circulations between rooms, giving the same relevance to the interior life of the house as to the exterior events, trying to enhance the informal condition of the beach house and the possibility of a life “outdoors”......more

Casa El Monje | Lo Barnechea Chile | Juan Cristóbal Valenzuela Leighton Arquitecto

The house is located in an area facing corner 3m northeast and slope that descends from west to
east, compared to a hill of medium height with vegetation plentiful and high presence throughout the sector.
As background on the site was a house that was in good condition and did not meet needs of new owners, but had a important element that led to this project: a well sunny little balcony, which allowed be to canopy height, above the roofs of other houses and with views over thesurrounding landscape.
From the above, and using the condition geographical location, the idea is to inhabit the land through a raised terrace. On this platform is raised in the top half of the site, the slope Asmil

On the platform that has a solid volume the indoor concentration level of access, while the
terraces are both the ceiling bedrooms are on the lower level, contact directly with the natural terrain.
The relationship between the 2 levels is produced by a central light patio around which are organized every spaces.....more

Casa de Invitados | LICANCHEU, VI Region, Chile | AATA Arquitectos

Project: 2005, Execution: 2006
Area: 26m2
540cm cube of wooden structure with two levels inside.
It is thought as a housing of low energetic consumption, as what special care was had in the orientation, and the interior color, the location of the windows and the isolation. In this case, the isolation material gives a special characteristic to the façades and to the entire project. For the walls bales of straw were in use stuccoes in mud, given its high thermal efficiency and for being an abundant material in the zone. These are protected from the rain by plates of transparent polycarbonate, which leaves in evidence the materiality and zinc waved in the parts top and low.
The cover is a green roof, with pasture, which prevents that the wind to strikes directly the surface, and take heat from it. This is considered a 5th façade for its also visible.
The location of the windows was projected to allow abundant sun light in the interior in winter and a crossed flow of air to ventilate it in summer.
The interior was decided to be painted white, in order that the natural light bounces and diminishes the need to use artificial light.....more

Mathias Klotz: Arquitecto | Old House - Thomas Figueroa, Santiago

It is a quiet architecture, which solves the problem with subtle functional constructive and combining different textures in the material and the different proportions in relation to space.
The exposed concrete is recreated itself and magically mutates as if it were something malleable.
The Old House is a detached house located in a residential neighborhood in the '50s, in Santiago. Originally there was a house that was demolished, and instead was shown a new development, that takes the best trees in the garden.
It is a rectangle of 12 x 40 meters located at the bottom of the ground, releasing a large park in front. Just one level, built entirely of reinforced concrete in sight and around the perimeter, working with different textures and contrasts between the surfaces causing...via

Supersudaka | Kiltro House | Talca, Chile

This house project is almost a statement of how to accomplish architecture in Latin-america.

The process was so unsteady, that all possible architectural design resources available where exercised to cope with the challenge of this house in the Chilean Central Valley.

Everything was in constant change: the program, the surface, building permits, the contractors, even the view !
The modus operandi is rather based on mistakes than certainties.

The result: a mix, a bastardized house design, a fusion, like a crossbreed dog, in Chilean:
A Kiltro.

The site is a terrace house in Lo Curro low, facing the southeast on Santiago and the Andes as a backdrop.
A home without walls, only glass "was the initial and primary request of the owners. Based on this premise, other concepts emerged as enhance the natural curves of the terrain and the project work as a house - balcony over the city.

The house is divided between two curves. One, the inner and central circulation in the front of the city. Between these two curves are orthogonal develops a program of enclosures that incorporated elements enhance the landscape.

The almost complete transparency requirements developed in the south facade completely opening the house to the terrace, making this front in a large hall undulating sustained by the minimum number of piers to support the slab.

The house faces south, so that the slabs were drilled to incorporate overhead light inside. These elements were designed, directed and designed, according to the intent required in each interior.
All worked in concrete facade seen with receipts and circulation. Molding was used for this table brushed to give a fine texture and a ladder nearby. The surfaces of the bedroom areas are left smooth and bleached to have more neutral and peaceful environments. The windows have wooden frames.

The field of the order is presented as a cloth facing inclined Santiago, which lowers a ravine.
Morphologically, it seeks to create a horizontal slope, which is accomplished with a volume container retaining wall at the bottom of the land on which rests the second volume, perpendicular to the slope, parallel to the ravine and balconies on the south;
thereby freeing more flat and creating the garden.

Programmatically accessed suspended parallel to the volume, which pierces the entry occurring in the junction of the volumes.
The public areas overlooking the garden with a panoramic view of Santiago and the Cordillera on the rooms, which are concentrated in the second volume.

Buzeta House | Maitencillo, Chile | Felipe Assadi + Francisca Pulido Architects

Casa Buzeta is a vacation family home located south of Maitencillo, over a creek 70 mts high from the sea.

Since the place presents excellent conditions for kite diving, the house structure has a volume that confronts the wind, boosting the slope and generating a striking sight of the sea.

This volume is looking to the orient as and opaque façade, made out of a huge wood sticks look.

The side facades have been worked with to round windows, which added to the west inclined façade, seem to be a ship over the sea contrast.

Inside the distribution is symmetric, organized by a double high space, where the rooms are.

A curved surface, inspired in pump up kite, covered by copper, goes around the house from east to west, forming a room alley, all of the looking to the sea.

The materials used are pine insigne in the structure, Oregon pine in the exterior and copper on the covers and fireplace.
