Mas Fernandez architectos created the holiday home ‘Casa Tunquen’ in Chile. The structure is dedicated to the amazing view which becomes part of the external structure of the house. The interior partitions are made of white painted pine, a local wood which is familiar to the carpenters. Outside, the house was treated with graphite gray primers that ensure low maintenance over time and that strengthen the form of a container.

According to the architect: Thinking about a second home, it is inevitable to imagine a place with special features, much more if it is facing the sea. The Elizabeth House, as we call it for a long time in honor of his owner, who is a single 50 years old mother, reflects very well the clarity, simplicity and honesty with which, in our view, should tackle these projects.
The walls, that are arranged inside of the structure, make enclosures whose dimensions are arranged on the module. The interior partitions are made of white painted pine, the same wood chosen for the structure, a wood of the area and very well known by all carpenter. So, this shelter on a cliff of the coast of the V Region of Chile has been opened for a few months and has already received visitors that are looking for a place to retire and look into the sea.
