Casa Ladera
by WMR Arquitectos

WMR Arquitectos has designed Casa Ladera in Santiago, Chile.

Casa Ladera is a slanted wooden building that inhabits the slope, nestled in the region of O’Higgins.

This project is located on Chile’s central coast and generates a transparent volume that overlooks the valley, allowing views towards the sea.

Geographically, La Vega de Pupuya is a rugged area with high cliffs, known for its windy climate.

Therefore, the design allows for protection from the wind – while taking care to intervene as little as possible in the natural terrain.

This project has been longlisted in the house (rural) category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
