A Rustic, Primitive, and Timeless Weekend House

Welcome to OchoQuebradas House, a stunning weekend house located on a cliff overlooking the rugged and picturesque coast of Chile. Designed by the talented architects at Elemental, this house is a celebration of simplicity and primitiveness. As you enter, you are immediately struck by the simple composition of three raw concrete volumes that seem to hold each other up, resembling prehistoric megaliths. The main room is a spacious and open area with views of the stunning natural surroundings. The bedrooms and bathrooms are located in the vertical volume, offering a peaceful and private retreat from the main living space. And on the top floor, there is a terrace with panoramic views of the breathtaking coastline. The central open fire is a true highlight of the design, adding to the rustic and primitive feel of the house. Elemental’s approach to this project was to create a timeless design that honors the archaic, and you can truly feel the connection to the natural landscape in every detail. This is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature in a unique and unforgettable way. Come be inspired by OchoQuebradas house and be transported to a simpler and more essential way of living.
