Casa OchoQuebradas . Los Vilos

ELEMENTAL . + archdaily

The building consists of three volumes: one upright, which hosts the bedrooms and bathrooms; underneath a low, horizontal volume which includes the main living space, with an open fire; connecting the two is a skewed volume that acts as the chimney for the fire.
The house is mostly poured concrete, with the surface of the roof terrace finished in the same wood used for shuttering.
