Chicureo House stretches low across its golf-course edge in Colina, Chile, a precise single-family house by Nicolas Loi Architects. The project organizes domestic life between a concrete plinth and a deep timber roof that temper the harsh sun while keeping living areas connected to the landscape. Generous interstitial zones pull daily routines outdoors, from barbecues to poolside evenings, so the house reads as a long porch facing the fairways.

Patricia Martinez Architecture has designed House LWF in São Paulo, Brazil, with a focus on environmental impact reductions. Built with a glued laminated timber (glulam) structure, the home offers panoramic views of São Pedro Beach on the region’s North Coast. The blocks are clad in wood and precast materials, and feature natural lighting from large glass panels. It is designed to integrate with the surrounding natural landscape of the Iporanga Condominium.
