Attractive Modern House: Gatia House in Chili

"Gatica House by Felipe Assadi and Francisca Pulido"
Architecture Lab (May 21, 2008)

"This is a contemporary modern house in Chilean countryside called Gatica House designed by Felipe Assadi+Francisca Pulido. The house is raised from the coexistence of two domestic programs: a stable family made up of a marriage and a family visitor comprising 3 children and their families.

"The scheme is in two parts: first, which takes place in a line composed of the access, dining halls and common master bedroom is understood as the 'main house'. The second-which should not be divided from the past but whether to retain their individuality-is understood as the elastic programme, a portion that is inserted literally within the volume whose main use is preferably weekend."

On first reading (also second and third, for me) - "The house is raised from the coexistence of two domestic programs: a stable family made up of a marriage and a family visitor comprising 3 children and their families" makes it sound like the house was build to accommodate some guests.

If so, the owners must be extremely obliging hosts - and very rich.
