House in Puertecillo

LOCATED IN THE UPPER AREA OF PUERTECILLO, A SMALL BEACH LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL ZONE OF CHILE, IN THE DISTRICT OF NAVIDAD; A MIX BETWEEN FIELD AND SEA THAT STANDS OUT FOR BEING THE HIDDEN PARADISE OF SURFERS WHERE YOU CAN ENJOY THE SEA, FORESTS AND NATURE. THE HOUSE IS LOCATED ON A VERY STEEP TERRAIN WITH A NORTH-WEST ORIENTATION. THE STRATEGY WAS TO GENERATE DIFFERENT TERRACES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE PLACE, ALL THE ENCLOSURES ARE ORIENTED WITH A VIEW TO THE RAVINE; THAT FLOWS INTO THE SEA. IT IS MADE ALMOST ENTIRELY OF WOOD, DUE TO THE BENEFITS OF THE MATERIAL EXPOSED TO THE COASTAL CLIMATE, A 1.4" BOARD COATING OF DRY PINE IN CHAMBER WAS USED FOR ITS BETTER FINISH AND DURABILITY OVER TIME, INSTALLED AS A SYSTEM OF VENTILATED FACADE. WE APPLIED A BLACK TINT TO THE ENTIRE EXTERIOR, SO THE HOUSE IS LOST IN THE LANDSCAPE, DISGUISING ITSELF AMONG THE VEGETATION. IN A VOLUME WITH TWO LARGE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE AREAS, IT IS DISTRIBUTED ON THREE LEVELS: THE FIRST LEVEL WITH ACCESS TO LIVING / DINING ROOM AND BEDROOMS, LOWER LEVEL WITH THE CELLARS AND COVERED TERRACES THAT PROTECT FROM THE SUN AND WIND IN THE SUMMER; THESE ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE PATIO, AND THE THIRD LEVEL IS THE ROOF OF THE HOUSE, WITH A HABITABLE TERRACE, THIS ALLOWS TO ENJOY ALL THE PANORAMIC VIEWS OF THE PLACE; ABOVE ALL THE HORIZON, THE VIEW OF THE VALLEY AND THE RAVINE TOWARDS THE SEA.
