Each year, the ArchDaily Curatorial team reviews the projects that resonated most with our readers, identifying the architectural trends and design approaches that captured the greatest attention throughout the year. Across our local sites – ArchDaily Brasil and ArchDaily en Español – residential architecture remains the most popular category, with projects built in Latin America standing out year after year.

The house is situated on a coastal lot with a north-south orientation. Its programmatic layout is achieved through the distribution of four blocks arranged parallel to the coast.

The project is located in the Punta Hueso sector on the Chilean coast, in the Coquimbo region. The area is characterized by abundant endemic vegetation facing a coastline of high cliffs. The project was conceived considering geographic components such as slope movements and the connection with the outside. To this end, a curved roof was proposed that interacts with the slope of the hill, generating a new spatial quality. Additionally, a proposal for peripheral corridors on three levels was developed to allow for a connection with the local flora.

The work is located on the coastal edge of Punta Hueso, Coquimbo region, Chile. It is a site where the coast, rocky formations, and the characteristic medium/low-height vegetation of the northern region prevail. The project is designed based on a grid of nine quadrants composed of eight peripheral wooden quadrants and one central circular concrete quadrant, which rises to serve as the access to the house through what we call a sculptural element, a project in itself like the spiral staircase. The house is elevated to protect the local flora in preservation while enhancing the completely unobstructed 360-degree views of its surroundings.
