photographed by cristóbal palma, the building is clad with dark timber boards that enclose a series of private spaces and direct views towards the crashing waves.
the main feature of the design is the huge kitchen, dining and living space that opens out to the pool and the horizon beyond.
the house consists of three separate brick volumes set above a continuous living space on the ground floor.
the renovation preserves the original masonry façade but carves out a new world inside, one which prioritizes light, space and openness.
I thought that steel panels get really hot in the sun and rather unpleasant in the winter. In the rain it works as a drum and with time it gets the lovely rust. and what about mobile phone network reception?
Apart from that not the sexiest looking form.
Japanese arquitecture. Most of the times with something interesting to say. Despite de small size of the apartments and the steep staircases it is a simple and yet nice building. Seems perfectly integrated in the site and neighborhood. Good work with the scale of the overall building.
I love it!
