The Urzua Cofre House was completed in 2007 by Raimundo Anguita. Nestled in a quiet place just beyond the city limits of Santiago, Chile, the home can't go unnoticed, yet makes you feel safe and unexposed. It opens up to the surrounding site and brings nature closer to its inhabitants.

The massive use of concrete for floor and ceiling adds texture to the interior while floor-to-ceiling windows open the living environment to the courtyard. “This way a quite clear house rises where a diversity of indoor and outdoor spaces are generated, tied by the central yard and in which the more public spaces are contacted with the surroundings while the most private spaces are protected from it without loosing it’s dominion.”
