House with Lucarna / Paralelo Transversal

Located on the outskirts of Santiago, in a high-temperature zone, Casa con Lucarna was designed to remain cool through passive strategies, minimizing the need for air conditioning. The design approach focuses on the integration of patios and gardens, which not only serve as natural dividers between different areas—such as public spaces, children’s bedrooms, guest rooms, and the main suite—but also contribute to the home’s ventilation and thermal regulation.
