Vertical House Plan For Family Living in Chile

Pezo von Ellrichshausen Architects designed this vertical house in San Pedro, Chile with a spatial focus that gets the biggest bang for functional family living. Created for a family of six, this three-storey house plan boasts five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a family room and a studio space. This Chile architecture is situated at the high point of the property to take advantage of the amazing views. This unusual concrete house features a facade of Copper Oxide which provides a water-repellent coat to protect from the heavy rains. “The oxide drippings, we thought, print the surfaces with an elusive natural quality, halfway between mineral and vegetal,” explain the architects. Large windows punctuate this monolithic exterior, while flooding interiors with natural light. Inside, the home puts bedrooms on the first and third floor, with public living areas at the center. Connecting all the rooms is a central spiral staircase which runs from top to bottom. Pezo von Ellrichshausen Architects
