Estudio Sie7e + Benjamín Goñi Arquitectos: The site of the house is on a hill in Tunquén, a coastal town just over an hour from Santiago. The client's brief was to design a beach house that could eventually become a permanent residence, but not a conventional house.

Residential › House, Extension and restoration of a residence
The idea for the interior was born during the designer’s very first visit to the residential complex where the house is located. Inspired by the clean, modern architecture and the surprisingly calm atmosphere — like a small oasis among the concrete jungle of the city — she envisioned an interior that would naturally extend that feeling indoors.

Tucked into the dense urban fabric of Koregaon in Satara, the H-House is a 2850 sq.ft. residence crafted on a constrained 33’ x 78’ site. The linear proportions of the site drove the architectural response, culminating in a plan organized around three longitudinal lines that run parallel across the site.
