The idea arises as a result of the analysis and references of the place, the storage warehouses that make up the country environment. Based on this premise, the house is conceived as a unitary and continuous volume, which in turn opens or closes to the different situations of the context, orientation and views.
The materiality of the house is solved in wood, both in its structure and in its envelope. This aged-looking shell is the result of recycling old wineries demolished around Pucón, in southern Chile. These planks are reused like a new country house dress, which seems to have always been in place.
