Chilean studio Ignacio Correa Arquitecto<\/a> has completed the House in Three Heights in Chile<\/a>, which features two timber-clad buildings connected by a slender bridge enclosure with glazed walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

The house is located on a tree-studded hillside in Zapallar, a coastal town in Chile’s Valpara\u00edso region.<\/p>\n

The project involved the renovation<\/a> of a small, existing dwelling built in 2014 and the creation of a multi-height extension<\/a> that responds to the site’s sloped terrain.<\/p>\n

The original, 70-square-metre building \u2013\u00a0which is clad in glass and is roughly triangular in plan \u2013 was designed to capture wide views of the landscape, including a bay that merges with the Pacific Ocean. The building sits on the high point of the site.<\/p>\n

The project included building a new structure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The remainder of the site extends downward, terminating at a flat area that provides access. The sloped stretch between the existing structure and the property’s entry point is where the addition was placed.<\/p>\n

The studio set out to create “a sequence of spaces and enclosures that allow the place and its relationships to be recognized”.<\/p>\n

“This distance between the pre-existence and the access is what the proposal understands as the project area, and at the same time, as the opportunity to appropriate that landscape,” said Ignacio Correa Arquitecto<\/a>, a studio based in Santiago.<\/p>\n

The 80-square-metre addition consists of a two-storey structure with an irregular footprint, and a slender bridge enclosure that connects the new building to the old one.<\/p>\n

The two-storey building rests atop a concrete plinth, while the bridge is held up by steel supports.<\/p>\n

Facades are clad in dark knotty pine<\/a>, and the same earthy material was used indoors for flooring and walls. Large stretches of glass provide immersive views of the landscape.<\/p>\n
