This house is located just outside Santiago, in the rural area of the Colina Valley. The abundant vegetation and open space, dominated by hills and groves, keeps the countryside feel of the environment, worn by urban expansion and insensitive real estate development, which reproduce city-type housing and infrastructure in a natural scenery. Thus, importing the city´s image over it.
