Casa SJ, Limache

The typology speaks for itself: a hacienda-style manor that organizes the program around a central courtyard with fountain, covered corridors, and a generous scale that belongs to the Limache valley. The decision is not nostalgic — it is a contemporary reinterpretation of a constructive tradition, where the classical form is updated in proportions, details, and program without losing its character. The space that best defines the project is the living room: exposed wooden roof trusses form a high pitched roof, where structure is also ornament. The same wood runs through frames, beams, and columns of the exterior corridor, unifying the interior and courtyard without hierarchy distinction. White stucco, colonial tiles, earthen flooring and stone at the entrances. A palette entirely coherent with the constructive tradition of central Chile — reinterpreted with precision and without concessions to pastiche.
