Binimelis-Barahona House in Chile by Polidura + Talhouk Architects

The triangular shaped lot was the one dictating on how the design was about to be executed. Only the center of the lot was available to built the main structure. Truly a marvel by Polidura + Talhouk Architects.

Two over imposed structures sited parallel to the ground take advantage of the valley view. The lower volume is buried on the lot and present a raw stone siding, while the top unit has the darker stone panels and hosts the social spaces.
