Description: 

​​

The house is set out in a "L", forming patios and terraces on the south side, and on the west side looking out over the pine trees and the Olivos/Quinta de Chicureo golf course. Each of the "arms" of the L-shaped structure has a distinct function: private areas (in the parallel to the street), and communal living areas (in the perpendicular to the street).

​

The main entrance is at the intersection of the two arms, marked by a recess on the facade and a perpendicular protruding wall. In this formal part, the house is composed by a simple linear elements that with the use of materials in each of them as the stone, exposed concrete, the white render and the big openings bring together a game os volumes and textures that they harmonise with the place and give sobriety to the building.
