Project: Montemar House
Location: Reñaca, Valparaíso Region, Chile
Year: 2024
Architects: Carlos Peña / Gregorio Vásquez
Area: 380 m²​

​

Situated on the coastal slope of Reñaca, Montemar House is conceived as a contemplative retreat overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The residence unfolds across three levels, adapting to the natural terrain and connected by a vertical elevator that spans from street level to a panoramic rooftop terrace.​

The architectural design emphasizes a clean and expressive structure, where exposed reinforced concrete, dark wood, and glass define a contemporary, sober, and warm aesthetic. The lower volume functions as an autonomous apartment; the second level houses bedrooms and common areas, while the third level is dedicated to the contemplation of the marine landscape.​

The house integrates with the terrain through stepped platforms, balconies, and planters, articulating the project as an extension of the coastal landscape.
