Villa on the rocky coast in Chile by Felipe Assadi

On the rocky coast of the fishing town of Los Vilos in central Chile, a stark concrete house has been created for a painter. The house's author, Felipe Assadi, had to deal with the inhospitable sloped plot, which, however, offers unique natural scenery. His design is surprisingly straightforward and sharply delineates against the jagged rocks. The family house features a double outer shell with several atriums. The outer walls are designed to protect the house from gusty winds and temperature fluctuations. The combination of exposed concrete and large glass surfaces perfectly fits into the local rugged landscape. The layout of the entire house gradually descends with the terrain. In the lower quiet area, there are two bedrooms and a private living space. The entrance level, which descends in several stages, represents the social part with a kitchen, dining room, living room, and a spacious terrace overlooking the ocean.
