CHICUREO HOUSE

CHICUREO HOUSE - COLINA - SANTIAGO

The owners wanted a house as large as the site would legally allow (500 square meters) on one level, with interior gardens that would provide privacy from the exterior.

To achieve this, a U design was developed, creating an access patio surrounded by walls detached from the house, which resulted in several interior gardens. The access patio was designed as a poetic transition from the outside to the inside. A lateral bridge along a great stonewall emerges from the water and is interrupted by a waterfall cascading into a reflecting pond, with fish and lotus flowers.

A stone plaza situated over the water, with a bench and tree in the middle, receives visitors with changing seasonal foliage and shade.
