Architect Alejandro Soffia pieced together a series of modules and covered them in bright yellow corrugated panels to form this prefabricated woodland residence in Pucón, Chile.
Yellow House is built from a module Santiago architect Soffia designed to be prefabricated in various sizes to suit different functions of the residence ? including the kitchen, dining and living room, a library, as well as bedrooms and bathrooms.

"The hypothesis is, that if you create a prefabricated system which has good architectural design, then you can reproduce this quality as much as you need it, within the laws of short/long production series," Soffia said.
Each is then joined together to form the residence in its entirety. Undulating metal panels painted yellow cover over the structure, giving it a homogenous appearance that drastically contrasts its green setting.
While the colour is perhaps the defining element of the residence, the architect made the decision later on in the design process, making Yellow House the property's ultimate name.
"When the house got to yellow, on the decision about external covering, the colour was too powerful to conquer the final name of the house," he said.

Black panels run along the exterior of the Yellow House, matching the black columns that elevate the house above its sloped site in Pucón.
The individual modules hidden underneath this shell, meanwhile, are built from lightweight Structural Insulated Panels (SIP).
