Totoral House / LAGAR Arquitectos

Lake Llanquihue is populated by centenary wooden barns, probably the most sustainable constructions we have in this southern region.  Though their rudimentary design, simplicity, and natural beauty, they are capable of absorbing new purposes, extensions, and programs (one work = many lives).  The larch shingles that cover these barns and other constructions are part of the local heritage, which connects us with an almost lost craft and a community that has developed around wooden constructions.
