Built for a couple on a flat parcel dotted by fruit trees in Santiago's Calera de Tango municipality, the house is elevated from the ground on a concrete foundation wall, which also contains a swimming pool and basement. The public spaces reside within a horizontal volume of glass and alerce wood. Creating a vertical contrast, the second volume, a concrete-and-glass box housing the sleeping quarters, opens onto a broad patio that looks down on the rugged terrain below.

The sight and the rhythm of the fruit trees propose a new ground level.

The previous statement, along with the idea of artificial occupation of the land, given by the contrast, creates to volumes and a foundation wall. This one - a concrete box 1 meter high and 2.7 mts wide upon the eats -west centre point, fosters the swimming pool, the basement and constitutes the foundations of the house at the same time.
