Located in the traditional neighborhood of El Golf, Las Condes, this single-family house responds to an extremely narrow and irregular plot, with a frontage of just over five meters that widens toward the rear in an L-shape.
The house is positioned as far forward as possible, aligning the program with the geometry of the land to optimize space, accommodate parking, and create a more private rear garden. The ground floor hosts interconnected social areas—kitchen, dining, and living spaces—linked through large sliding doors that fully open to the terrace.
A narrow second floor organizes bedrooms along a linear bay, culminating in a rotated volume that follows the site’s shape and houses the master suite, while creating a covered terrace below. Natural light is carefully integrated through light patios, skylights, and projecting corridor volumes that bring depth and brightness to the interior.
Exposed concrete, heat-treated wood, and an industrial yet warm material palette define the architecture, complemented by a long elevated pool and a compact outdoor barbecue area that complete this efficient urban home.
The development of this single-family home located in the traditional El Golf neighborhood in Las
Condes presented a significant architectural challenge from the outset. The site is defined
by an extremely narrow frontage just over five meters and an irregular L-shaped geometry that
gradually widens toward the rear. These conditions required a highly strategic approach to spatial
organization, circulation, and privacy. To maximize the potential of the site, the house was positioned
as far forward as possible, aligning its layout closely with the geometry of the land. This
decision allowed the program to unfold efficiently while preserving a more private garden area toward
the back, clearly separated from the street and access. The ground floor is conceived as a
continuous social platform. Kitchen, dining, living, and family areas are interconnected through large
sliding doors, allowing the spaces to operate independently or merge into a single fluid
environment. On the upper level, the private program is organized within a narrow bay with
bedrooms oriented to the north and a circulation corridor to the south. This sequence culminates in
a rotated volume that follows the site's geometry, marking a clear architectural break and housing
the main bedroom. Beneath this volume, a covered terrace is formed, reinforcing the indoor-outdoor
relationship. Natural light plays a central role in the design. A light patio on the ground floor
faces the access, while skylights and indirect light sources are carefully integrated throughout
the house. Along the bedroom corridor, small projecting volumes extend toward the southern
facade, specifically designed to enhance spatial depth and bring daylight deep into the interior.
Materially, the house adopts an industrial language tempered by warmth. Exposed concrete walls and
polished vitrified floors define the ground level, complemented by heat-treated wood ceilings that
extend outward onto the terrace. Large sliding glass panels allow the social spaces and terrace
to fully connect, forming a single continuous plane. The upper floor contrasts this with a
ventilated facade clad in Hunter-Douglas panels. Outdoors, a long, narrow, elevated pool defines the
terrace, its perimeter carefully detailed to create integrated seating and reinforce the social
character of the space. At the rear of the site, a linear barbecue area set on a stone floor
completes the project, transforming a constrained plot into a highly functional,
light-filled, and carefully articulated family home.
