Chalet C7

Hidden away among the glacially carved peaks of the Andes, the low horizontals of Chalet C7 are as remote from ornamentation as from civilization. However, the precise design and spatial awareness exhibit an unmatched architectural pedigree.
Built into a steep rock slope overlooking the Tres Hermanos Mountains, architects Nicolás del Rio and Max Núñez incorporated the structure into the environment. The effort produces a structure that unobtrusively integrates into the staggering Andean panorama.
Reinforced due to over 6 meters of snow accumulation in winter, the space necessitated strong steel beams and columns during construction. However, they were deftly integrated into the open plan layout and keep a sense of light delicacy throughout. Expansive intimacy, the interior life mirrors the grand dimensions without.
