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 commentsI can’t believe some of the comments I’m reading, crying about this building being in the middle of a beautiful area, better this building and a single person who owns the whole area, than a single person who owns a corporation and destroys this beautiful land for an office building or worse.
I personally think this looks cool, only if it was a little house, it would be so peaceful.
What about the toilet? So beautiful landscape, so clean building, so… but where are you going to cover your human needs? Probably on the shore of this beautiful lake!!!
Horrible! What a beautiful place and someone puts a brick like this in the middle?
Its embarrassing what rich humans arrange.
Well some people prefers a teepee or log cabin in the little hill or an 60 organic proyect, i am agree with each one, but …
Love the landscape and the way it looks, stoic cube in the midle of no where, not landed on the ground, no afection to the original ground, minimun excavation, poetic stright lines, breaking the law, free at last… well done !!
SUBLIME!!!
