Two identical houses for two families, independent and with different panoramic views, one overlooking the lake and the other overlooking the trees on the farthest shore.
The project, carried out by the Chilean firm Benjamin Goni Arquitectos, in collaboration with Claro + Westendarp arquitectos, focused mainly on managing the few linear meters of panoramic views for both houses. Two types of views were identified, one facing the lake and the other among the trees, incorporating the living rooms of the houses and the main bedrooms in these specific points.
Based on this criterion, the houses are arranged in such a way that the living room of one will have a view of the bedroom of the other and vice versa. Between the houses, there is a space that serves as a wooden terrace, a meeting point for the two families, protected from the wind, framing the view of the lake. The private rooms all face outward, to maintain privacy in each unit.
As a construction system, SIP panels have been used, ensuring good thermal insulation, incorporating some recurring elements in the architectural projects of southern Chile. In the design of the roof and its slope, the installation of solar panels for electricity generation is taken into consideration.
