Local design studio ERRE Arquitectos designs the new Prat House, which is a seaside home that is located in Matanzas, Chile. It is 128 square meters and lifted on a foundation of stilts in order to have beautiful overlooking views of the country's coastline. The home has a narrow design and is arranged to be perpendicular to the sea. The aforementioned stilts are added to minimize the impact on the landscape.
Raimundo Gutiérrez of ERRE Arquitectos explains the project to Dezeen, noting that "In an effort to strengthen a visual link to the coastline, the house is positioned and suspended on the surface, just as the docks do, which in turn function as articulators between people and the ocean."
