Located in Santo Domingo, Chile this weekend house has a very simple design directly shaped by the land surrounding it, the climate equally well every bit other elements including the small budget allocated for this project. The Aglae House as it is called was designed and congenital by studio AFARQ Arquitectos. They avoided adding whatever unnecessary features as 1 of their master objectives was to go on the toll low and they also had to bargain with the strong winds which translates into the fact that the house was slightly raised and an interior courtyard was created.

The coastal surface area provides the house with beautiful views which are emphasized throughout the volumes, specially in the primary bedchamber which is the just 1 oriented to the West. This allows it to capture the wonderful view of the sunset every 24-hour interval. The primary facade of the house is partially airtight, featuring a wall covered in larch wood. The living room is beautifully integrated with the courtyard where there's a pond pool and a small wooden deck protected by the tall wall. All main areas of the business firm are oriented to the North in society to maximize sunlight. All of this ultimately contributes to the simple yet very practical and convenient nature of the firm.
