 The Rugs of SeDu House / Pe+Br+Re arquitectos:
(Brief of the project)
 This house is located in Puerto Varas, on a plot that used to

be an agricultural field.
 This places the house around a large native and non-native
trees and an old countryside roads.
 This view coincides with the solar orientation towards the
north.
 Formally speaking, the house is designed from a large main volume

with two main facades, the south and the north, facades that according
to its character determines its expression in terms of composition, light
and materiality.
 To the south a more private facade is defined towards the parking area
with a clear window access.
 This controls the loss of privacy and temperature of the facade exposed
to the street, the cold face of the house.
 The north face of the house is a large window facade in the common areas creating a strong connection between
the view, the landscape and the interior of the house, maximizing the sunlight and view.
 This large volume is crossed by a transverse roof that contains the service areas and complementary spaces,
giving way to the access of the house.
 From this point the house is divided in two areas: dormitory and private use to the west and common areas
towards the east, finishing the common areas in a great indoor/outdoor space intimately related to the great
trees and the surroundings.
