Botafogo House / o2 Arquitectos

Next to a stud farm, amid a walnut grove and situated on a hill, stands the Botafogo house, located in Romeral, Maule Region, Chile. Built entirely of wood, this house was inspired by the old sheds of southern Chile, while adapting to the needs of contemporary living and the client’s requirements. Among other things, it needed to be both welcoming and practical, accommodating either a single occupant or, on occasion, a whole family with children and grandchildren.
