Casa Quilla is a project designed by RLL Estudio de Arquitectura, Raúl Lucero, architect, located in Cahuil, Pichilemu, in the Sixth Region of Chile.
The design of the house was developed from the challenge of taking advantage of a pre-existing structure on the land of concrete beams and pillars, which oriented the project towards a functional and aesthetic proposal.
The house is characterized by its simple lines and the use of efficient materials, highlighting modular and prefabricated panels as a structural base covered with brushed pine wood. This approach allowed to respond to a strategy in accordance with the limited budget and, at the same time, highlight the sensorial connection with the environment.
The project emphasizes specific decisions that exacerbate the experiences offered by the natural environment: the sea, the Cahuil lagoon, the wind at sunset, and natural light. The interior spaces were designed to frame views of the ocean and allow the air to flow naturally. Elements such as a terrace that connects to the dining room through folding windows, and a bench made of recycled oak and train rails, as a viewing platform over the roof, reinforce this integration between the house and the landscape.
