Matías Zegers Arquitectos builds stone courtyard house in Chilean wine country



Casa Tapihue by Matías Zegers Arquitectos is a house in a vineyard built from white stone around a courtyard with a firepit in Casablanca, Chile.
The residence is named for the valley of Tapihue between two mountains in Chile's wine-growing region.

Matias Zegers Arquitectos designed the family home to give the resident plentiful ways of enjoying the natural landscape while being protected from the area's fierce breezes.
"There will be no trees or vegetation to mediate one's scale against vastness around the building for a while, so we wanted the house to support life not only indoors but outdoors too," said the studio.
White-stone walls enclose the four volumes
Four volumes are arranged around a square central courtyard paved in concentric rings. A dish-shaped metal fire pit sits at the centre. "The whole program is laid out around this patio that will provide a serene atmosphere through a hand-reach landscape full of aromas and protected from the permanent winds of Casablanca," they added.
Glass walls allow views from the courtyard to the mountains
Matias Zegers Arquitectos raised the house almost a metre above ground level on a concrete plinth to elevate the views above the rows of planted vines.
A grand library occupies one side of the house. Full-height glazing overlooks the courtyard internally and the valley outside.
