Arriving at José Ignacio you will find El Secreto, a strip of irregular land formed by the proximity to the dunes and the sea. Preserving these wild surroundings was the main objective while projecting, thus the house is raised to save the sea views and make the least possible impact to preserve the natural existing condition.


The ground plan rests on pillars, detached from the ground, where a space for garages and services is formed, invaded by the local wild vegetation and an upper floor flying over it.


The volumetry of the house is perceived in a pure form, with an extraction operation that results in a large inner courtyard which forms a floor plan as a circuit alternating bedrooms and semi-private courtyards. The courtyards also add interior facades increasing the entry of light of the house and strengthening the connection between interiors and the exteriors. The inhabitants of the house can see each other in the circulatory space even if they are on opposite sides of the house.


The social spaces of the house, dining room, living room, kitchen and barbecue, are aligned and connected to each other and  the deck that runs through them reinforces this connection and the premise of our studio: an outdoor life in dialogue with nature.

Llegando a José Ignacio se encuentra El Secreto, una franja de casas de reciente construcción y de amplios terrenos irregulares formados por la cercanía a las dunas, que junto a la naturaleza circundante, forman el partido de elevar las casa para salvar las vistas al mar y realizar el menor movimiento de suelo posible para preservar la condición natural existente. 


De esta manera, la planta de la casa descansa sobre pilares, despegándose del suelo, en donde se conforma un espacio de cocheras y servicios invadidos por la vegetación agreste local y una planta alta volando sobre esta. 


La volumetría de la casa se percibe de forma pura, con una extracción que deja un gran patio interior que conforma una planta como un circuito alternando dormitorios y patios semi privados, los patios suman fachadas interiores aumentando la entrada de luz a la misma y afianzando la conexión entre ellos y el exterior. Los habitantes de la casa pueden verse en el espacio circulatorio aún estando en lados opuestos de la casa.


Los espacios sociales de la casa, comedor, living, cocina y parrillero, están alineados y conectados entre sí y el deck que los recorre afianza esta conexión utilizando de premisa los pilares del estudio: el diálogo con la naturaleza y la vida al aire libre.
