A Coastal Home in Chile That Frames the Horizon

On Chile’s Canela coast, architect Benjamín Goñi designed a home oriented to rare northern views of the Pacific. The house structure is defined by four low wooden volumes for private areas, two parallel concrete walls, and a central living space that opens fully to the horizon.

The clad exterior in gray-toned wood that weathers against the humidity, while the interior shifts to light timber for warmth. Black steel framing and exposed laminated beams define the structure, extending outward to connect interior and exterior spaces.

The outdoor patio extends under exposed laminated beams, framing uninterrupted views of the Pacific. Modern rattan furniture and built-in shelving give the covered terrace both comfort and function. 

The living room opens fully to the sea, with large glass panels that erase boundaries between indoors and out.
