Calafquén House
Matias Roman

Between Architecture and Nature

Román y Basualto Arquitectos as Architects

Casa Calafquén project combines the robustness of concrete with the warmth of wood to create a cozy and elegant refuge in the middle of nature. Its structure, a longitudinal block of concrete, blends perfectly with the surrounding native trees, integrating with the natural landscape that surrounds it.

Inside, the contrast between concrete and wood creates a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The wooden block inserted in the heart of the house houses the most intimate spaces: the Master Bedroom and the Children's Bedroom. The guest bedroom, designed with rustic wood in different shades, follows the same warm and welcoming aesthetic.

A fireplace inserted into a concrete unit becomes the iconic element of the living room, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A wine cellar designed specifically for the project extends from floor to ceiling, adding sophistication to the space.
