Casa OchoQuebradas
Architect: ELEMENTAL
Location: Los Vilos, Chile
About
Elemental 's design for Casa OchoQuebradas draws on the rugged landscape of its site, a cliff on the coast of Chile , to create a rugged, even primitive weekend house design of concrete volumes. Inspired by their idea that "a weekend house is ultimately a kind of retreat where people allowed themselves to suspend the conventions of life and go back to a more essential living," the house is a simple composition which incorporates such features as a main room which can be opened up to the outdoors and a central open fire.
