Two Houses in Chile

The houses in Puertecillo by Chilean studio 2DM revolves in itself to receive the sea as a surprise, as a violent blow of sight, and a different perspective each and every time.

The project consisted of two waterfront houses on a narrow piece of land, compressed between the sea and a cliff. Thus, a question arises immediately: how not to fall into the evident blatancy of the view to the sea, having it in front like an unavoidable scene with no mediating between sight and sea?

The answer is to measure. A volume is then proposed that revolves in itself to receive the sea as a surprise, as a violent blow of sight, and a different perspective each and every time, as a sight that cannot be anticipated. It is a work that achieves, not an immense, unique sea, but several, that of the northern rockery, Punta Puertecillo to the south, and so on. In this way, the two volumes that contain and tighten the volume appear: the sea and the cliff.
