Built entirely of wood, this house is inspired by the old warehouses in southern Chile, adapted to the requirements of the client, which, among others, had to be cozy and practical enough for both a single inhabitant, and sometimes house an entire family with children and grandchildren, from this premise comes the design that is made up of a large central access that functions as a hall, covered terrace, and unites the two wings of the house and can open to the outside. On both sides through large wooden slides along its entire length, and in this way remain completely connected with the field and the views.

Towards one side of the hall, a single space of living room, dining room and integrated kitchen was formed, completely connected to this central hall through a glazed sliding door, which allows the opportunity for connection, spaciousness and luminosity. Next, a desk, through which you also enter through sliding doors that allow you to connect with this space, and then another sliding door that connects with the master bedroom.

Towards the other side of the access, the most private wing for guests, to be opened only occasionally, with rooms and bathrooms, above this a loft was enabled which is accessed through an old and renovated spiral staircase, providing the possibility of more occupancy in case if you need it.

All of this takes place in a single large, clean volume without eaves intercepted by cubes that form large windows that reach the height of the ridge, allowing for the generation of spaces of great luminosity and spaciousness.
The Botafogo house was strategically placed on this existing hill in the countryside with no major pretensions other than to be a place to live in total contact with nature, with a view of the landscape and the horses.
