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.

more commentsGreat concept! Congratulations! Hopefully, someday soon we get to incorporate this kind of efficiency in structures around us.
rodrigo: believe it…I live in Mozambique and I only have a 500L water tank in my house, which defines my daily use. It is normally just enuogh for 4 people…it’s sad but it’s good to have a direct feedback on how much water we use.
average daily consumption of water per person is 150 liters?? ummm…..i don’t think so
Sorry to say Hammer, but maybe you don’t know that much on how the US sewer systems work? The millions and millions of gallons of untreated water that is dumped from waste water facilities during a large rain event because it puts the facility over capacity. Aside from collecting usable water, rain water collection would help with storm water run-off and help reduce the amount of pollution into local waterways. The number one pollutant in local streams, rivers, lakes & delta’s is storm water run-off. Find out where your local sewer systems dump their water & you might change your mind…..
