A Weekend House With Spectacular Sea Views In Chile

A weekend ‘shelterhttps://thietkebietthu.info/biet-thu-nghi-duong-huong-bien/’ is all the clients asked, and this unique 185 square metre home design became their answer. Located on the coastline of Navidad, Chile, this weekend getaway has a highly privileged spot. Views over the blue pacific ocean sweep out to the west, and cliff views grow around the north, east and south orientations. Local wood and labour built the house with a visible skeleton for glass walls, following plans created by WMR Arquitectos. Buildings have never existed on this 10 kilometre long, 200 metre high coastline of cliffs, where access to the beach is made via difficult paths that take a long time to walk. The journey to something great is not often easy.

The local people have always harvested Chilean seaweed–or “cochayuyo”–and seafood in this area of Navidad, Chile. The weekend homeowners, a German-Chilean couple come here to escape. It is a sacred spot to them, where they are able to enjoy the outside of their bolthole just as much as the inside, on terraces designed to take advantage of the sun at any given time of day.
The flat exposed roof terrace is baked in sunshine the whole day long.
Terraces to the north, west, and south sides are sheltered by 2 x 6 inch slats, spaced 2 inches apart. The slats bring texture to the outdoor spaces, creating shadows as the sun moves around through the day.

Outdoor chaise lounge chairs are placed up and down the wooden terraces to offer multiple relaxation spots to suit the time of day. The outdoor lounge areas place the family either in each others company, or in a moment of peaceful reflective solitude.
This is a living room with a spectacular view. The blue Pacific Ocean becomes stunning lounge decor, striping behind a log burning fire. The chrome chimney is matched by a chrome arc floor lamp, which curves gently over a rounded sofa design. Pebble-like lounge furniture plays with the beach theme brought upon the room by its magnificent view. The mid century modern coffee table between the soft tan settee and stool is a Noguchi Style Table. Original available here.

The living room, dining room and kitchen connect with two bedrooms located at either end of the building. The shared area builds a flexible day space with increased views, sunlight, and airflow. At night, large doors are pulled closed for privacy. An L-shaped kitchen runs around a wooden island, where the cooking stove is located so the cook can admire the ocean panorama whilst tending to dinner. Decorative black framework installed upon the top of the upper kitchen cabinets is an ode to the architecture of the unique house. Orange accent panels bring moments of colour to the backs of shelving cubbies in the kitchen. An orange table lamp contrasts against the blue views at the window, and orange accented artwork colours the plain white walls of the room.
