Claustro House anchors a hill town in Zapallar, Chile, with a clear, almost classical idea reworked for family life. Espiral Arquitectos centers the house on a cloistered courtyard, drawing movement inwards and light from above, while a two-level plan separates social rhythms from retreat. A private exterior and a porous core create a deliberate contrast that suits the coastal setting and a multigenerational routine.
This small cabin designed by Tomás de Iruarrizaga is located near Valdivia, Chile. It sits in the middle of the dense and humid Valdivian rainforest. The form is conceived as a compact and sharply defined volume — a prism with acute angles that contrasts strongly with its surroundings. Its interiors, made of laurel wood, are warm and tactile; everything feels like part of a built-in furnishing, much like the interiors of boats, where ribs and keels are exposed.
Located in Zapallar, Chile, the ACFA House is designed by Estudio Alto. This 450-square meter house embodies the principles of geometry rather than conventional architecture, where circular spaces foster connection. Bathed in sunlight through large windows, the residence feels flexible depending on the number of inhabitants.
Tiny Auro is a remarkable cabin conceived by Trawa Arquitectos, situated in Puerto Varas, Chile.

Positioned between the breathtaking Calbuco volcano and the peaceful banks of Lake Llanquihue, this haven pays tribute to the allure of the Lakes Region.
Casa MM is a house located on the northern shore of a lake in southern Chile. Designed by architect Benjamin Goñi in 2023, the residence accords to a slope and encompasses native trees, ultimately providing sweeping views of volcanoes, the lake and the vegetation. The project places half of the house on the land and the other half on stilts, with the exterior portion covered entirely in larch shingles.
The Casa Canal by Daiber & Aceituno Architects is a wooden house in Frutillar, Chile. Its design focuses on functionality, sustainability, and connecting with the rural landscape. The project features two main volumes, separated by a corridor, that distinctively divide the social and private areas. Key elements include a covered patio and an efficient rainwater-collecting roof.
Emphasising austerity and adaptability, the house embraces its surroundings while providing a versatile living space.
