This 30-meter-long structure, which is perched over the terrain, inspired by the palafitos found on the coast of the southern Chilean island of Chiloé, is organized from north to south so that its west façade offers views of Hueihué Bay, allowing its occupants to observe their immediate and distant surroundings. The perimeter hallways act as a buffer between the exterior and interior. These are accompanied by a single, continuous façade whose height varies to match the layout, offering 360° views and allowing natural light to enter during the day.

The project is governed by two material techniques. First, the exposed metallic carpentry forms the wide spaces requested by the client. The structure is painted bright yellow, evoking the steel tradition of railroad bridges. The wood carpentry is reflected in the interior and exterior lining, which is comprised of the same unplaned squarenessgiving it a monomaterial appearance. This lining is made of native wood, specifically canelo and mañio in the interior and pine in the exterior. The house is organized around a single section that is repeated and organized, with some exceptions.
