Izquierdo Lehmann designs a new rounded lakeside house that can be found by Lago Ranco on the southern side of Chile dubbed the Casa Encoique. It is wrapped in glass and is contrasted by a series of wood-clas boxes that are protruding out along the sides.
The space is made as a guest pavilion next to a holiday home to allow accommodation for multiple generations to come. The class pavilion is about 125 square meters and rests in the middle of the forest, surrounded by lush views. It boasts an open plan along the first floor with a living and dining area paired with a small prep kitchen -- this all has a 360-degree view -- above this are three en-suite bedrooms.
