The Place – views of a slope. The land, located in a private subdivision in the hills of the Pupuya locality, is characterized by being a thin and long lot; of 30 x 280 m, with a steep slope that falls 85 m to the east, from the interior circulation of the subdivision (+240.50) towards a ravine dominated by native forest. (+155.00) Given the topography of the land, different views of the landscape are obtained; to the east, distant views of the fields with the Andes mountain range as a backdrop, and to the north to the mouth of the Rapel River. The house is located as far away as possible from the internal street, right at the point where the steepest slope begins. In this way, the proposal uses the full available width of the land, generating a turn, in the manner of a fan, seeking to obtain the greatest number of views of the landscape.
