Gonzalo Iturriaga Arquitectos‘ latest residential masterpiece, El Montañes, is a stunning example of contemporary design seamlessly blending with Chile’s rugged natural landscape. Nestled on the slopes of Cerro del Cobre in San Esteban, this single-family house showcases a unique architectural approach that embraces the site’s challenging terrain.
Composed of concrete walls, metal profiles, and heat-treated wood, the structure appears to float above the rocky terrain, creating a harmonious dialogue between the built and natural environments.
