The Rocas House in Chile
The project was carefully integrated into the land. The implementation was planned to preserve the natural slope and panoramic view of the site. Two stone side walls were built to accommodate the main structure of the house on the ground floor, where the social and service areas are located.
The structure that houses the private spaces of the residence, on the first floor, is designed on this base, forming a canopy that protects the entrance to the residence and using the area below as a terrace.
The difference in level between the living room and the pool allows an unobstructed view of the horizon, both inside the house and outside.
The main objective of the project was to preserve the view of the land. The residence was designed as a platform to enjoy the skyline; from all the main environments, it is possible to contemplate the ocean without obstructions.
