Alvano y Riquelme Architects has built an angular house on a clifftop in Chile's wine region featuring an abundance of outdoor spaces that overlook vineyards.

Casa 14 is a one-bedroom home in the Valparaíso region of Chile designed by architects Renzo Alvano and Pablo Riquelme of Alvano y Riquelme Architects.
The house perches atop a hill and features expansive views of Chile's wine region, Casablanca Valley.

Alvano y Riquelme Architects designed the residence for "leisure, social life and contemplation". "The landscape floods with views and acts as a backdrop for the different activities," the studio added.

Glass, concrete, wood and steel form the construction of the single-storey rectangular home. It is wrapped in glass and measures 20 square metres. A feature of the design is its irregular shape created by black wooden beams and weathered pillars that form a geometric shell around the glass-and-concrete home.

The wooden structure is used to create coverings across the home's outdoor walkways and patios. A triangular area culminates at one far end of the house with a pool, while the opposite is a viewing platform.

"One of the premises when imagining the possible uses of the house was 'more terraces than interiors'," said Alvano y Riquelme Architects.

"The house was designed as a small refuge surrounded by terraces and eaves, reinterpreting the tradition of the perimeter corridor of the Chilean country house," the studio said....
