Along the coast of the world's longest country and just a few hours outside its capital city of Santiago lie La Loica and La Tagua, two minimalist cabins perched on a hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Designed by Croxatto and Opazo Architects, the twin Navidad, Chile-based cabins aim to bring visitors closer to the region's unique natural environment with immersive views and a stirring sense of solitude.
Built as holiday homes, La Loica and La Tagua were contracted by and designed for two seperate clients who were inspired by the landscape—a rugged yet beautiful area where verdant cliffs drop to the beach, a popular surf spot—and sought a way to more closely connect with it.
To achieve this, Croxatto and Opazo had to embrace the steep hillside sites through experimentation and thoughtful architectural design.
