Raveau House in Santiago, Chile by Felipe Assadi + Fransisca Pulido
Hugging a steep, eroding slope in the foothills of the Andes, this house sits on a grouping of 60 steel piles. Perched several hundred feet over the Mapocho river, the board-formed-concrete house is divided into two horizontal volumes, one for living and another for sleeping, that meet a partially enclosed deck. In the interior, large courtyard roles as the main connector for each area. Material used for this interior is complicated combination of wood, iron landing for the corridor inbound with black framed glass wall. The glass wall is also useful to set the required natural light trough inside without reducing private area.
