From the architect. The commission is from two young surfer brothers with the need to build a house for each in an area where the sea views are favored for both houses.

The idea is to generate narrow volumes to open views of the neighboring sites behind and each other.
Main Level Plan
Elevations
Seeking height to see the wave from the inside, the houses rise from the ground level with a wooden structure with stilts in an area, and a concrete base in another.

Sliding partitions allow to separate or join the master bedroom with the living-dining area, achieving greater breadth to the spaces.

A terrace on the roof takes advantage of the view of the waves.
The views to the north and south are closed, to achieve privacy within the spaces.

A simple materiality was considered (wood, forest area) and local labor (very cheap). The structure is made of black pinewood. The interior finishes of the walls and ceilings are 1″x8″ natural color pine, and floors in 1″x2″ tongue and groove pine also natural color, with vitrification. The wood deck terraces are made of vitrified cypress. The completion of the exterior 1″x8″ pine wood walls is impregnated and dark oak color.
