Located just two hours from Santiago, the town of Los Vilos is home to a development that offers a reconnection with nature and architecture: the Ochoquebradas project. Within a vast oceanfront property, the master plan features weekend homes designed by renowned architects. The latest house to join the master plan was designed by the Argentine architecture firm Moarqs.
True to the spirit of the site, the architects designed a structure with minimal footprint, embracing the surrounding landscape through courtyards and large openings.
Read the architects' description below:
The proposal aims to minimize the site footprint while creating a series of indoor and outdoor spaces that provide the necessary comfort for daily life. Sheltered from the sun and wind, these spaces offer prime views of the stunning Ochoquebradas landscape.
The building's volume, together with its gallery, encloses an open courtyard that integrates the surrounding landscape into the interior, organizing the home's circulation and various rooms.
The project will be built entirely of wood, based on a 60 cm x 60 cm module within a 3.60 m x 3.60 m structural grid.
