Exotic Modern Home in the South of Chile

It’s something you might expect to see in a lakeside city in the south of Chile. The exotic, unyielding essence of this modern home by Beals Architects boasts two competing volumes, parallel in both position and presence, and working their way through the immediate forest, Lake Rupanco and an endless sky. With an exterior of pine treated with a black sealer, this modern design pays tribute to the grandeur of the trees that surround it. Picture windows neatly frame the breathtaking views while flooding interiors with soft sunlight. But the home’s overall rustic character is complemented by the fine, contemporary details. Rich, untreated, warmly lit manio and ulmu wood is a natural highlight of interiors, covering the floors, walls and ceilings; flowing from the entrance, through the kitchen, hallways, a lounge, the dining room and office, and full circle back, outside to the terrace. A modern floating staircase leads upstairs, where at the rear of each volume is a bedroom, connected to its counterpart via a glassed-in hallway. Following the sloping landscape, the home narrows and ends each volume with an observatory open to the magnificent view. Beals Architects
