Text description provided by architect.

This beach house is located on a rural setting in Huentelauquen, Chile, facing the sea from the border of a plain plateau exposed to the strong winds, 40m over the beach.

The house was located along this border, sunken to disappear into the landscape, in which only 5 chimneys arise as sea lookouts.

In the floorplan, the rooms are aligned and facing the view over the sea, on a bar distanced from the retaining wall on its back, to create a sunken patio away from the wind.

The living and dining rooms are open along both sides with large windows, suspended between the horizon and the excavation of the patio.

At the same time the patio, which becomes the main space of the house, opens to the horizon through the double glass wall of the living room.
