The structure is constructed using modular wooden frames, comple- mented by SIP panels in walls and roofs, allowing for faster assembly, easier transportation, and improved thermal insulation. On the exterior, the building is clad with Top Wood heat-treated wood over battens, forming a ventilated facade reinforced with treatments that ensure its durability, while the incorporation of metal reinforcements allows for longer spans and improves its structural stability. Overall, the design enhances the value of wood architecture by inte- grating traditional techniques with contemporary technologies, estab- lishing this material as a central, functional, and efficient element with structural, thermal, and aesthetic qualities suited to the local climate. !
tradition and modernity, connecting the program and the landscape through a transparent element that structures the daily experience.
MG House The project is based on a clear premise: to revive the region’s traditional architecture through a cutting-edge design language. The home is conceived as a contemporary reinterpretation of tradition, where form and layout are designed to enhance everyday life. The clients requested spacious areas that conveyed a sense of free- dom and togetherness. To reinforce these sensations, two double-height voids were incorporated: one connected to the bedroom and the other to the study. Both spaces function independently but are visually and functionally linked to the living room, dining room, and kitchen, main- taining the autonomy of each area without losing spatial continuity. The design incorporates large-format windows that establish a direct connection with the landscape, creating an immersive atmosphere that allows interaction with the lake, the mountain range, and the volcanoes of southern Chile, making the views an essential part of indoor life. !

The project is an exemplary case of urban regeneration in the heart of Santiago’s historic district. The project occupies a narrow, vacant lot—unused since the 1960s—nestled between adjoining buildings and adjacent to the headquarters of the National Agricultural Society. Its location, in an area of high heritage value, made it possible to fill a gap that disrupted the spatial and urban continuity of Agustinas Street between San Antonio and Mac Iver. The proposal takes advantage of the site’s unique conditions—13 meters wide by 50 meters deep, surrounded by buildings of varying heights—to transform a former blind wall into a new public facade that complements the urban space and highlights the existing structures. A continuous 12-story volume is attached to the corner building’s line, housing circulation spaces and rooms. At the same time, a setback toward the west protects the neighboring historic building and restores the continuity of the facades.
06_ MM House and MG House
MM House and MG House are two distinct residential projects located on the same site. Each project has its own program and clients, but they share a common starting point: the vernacular architecture of southern Chile as a point of reference and the lakeside landscape as an indispensable focal point. MM House The commission calls for a contemporary home that draws inspiration from the vernacular architecture of southern Chile. The design consists of two volumes that reinterpret the archetype of the southern barn clad in larch shingles. The two structures are connected by a glass bridge that unifies them and serves as the heart of the home. One of the volumes houses the bedrooms and an office; the other contains the outdoor barbecue area, services, and parking spaces. The central bridge contains the entrance and the living-dining-kitchen area, oriented toward the 180° view offered by the site. The layout balances
