‘Casa Buzeta is a family vacation home in Maitencillo, Chile over a creek 120mts high from the sea. Designed by Felipe Assadi Architects.
Since the place presents excellent conditions for kite diving, the house structure has a volume that confronts the wind, boosting the slope and generating a striking sight of the sea.
This volume is looking to the orient as and opaque facade, made out of a huge wood sticks look.
The side facades have been worked with to round windows, which adds to the west inclined facade, seem to be a ship over the sea contrast.
Inside the distribution is symmetric, organized by double high space, where the rooms are.
A curved surface, inspired in pump up like kite, covered by copper, goes around the house from east to west, forming a room alley, all of the looking to the sea.
The materials used are pine insigne in the structure, Oregon pine in the exterior and copper on the covers and fireplace.’

Completed: 1999
