Modernism in the Andes: dRN Architects

8-4-08drn11.jpg

Describing this glass house as "a room with a view" feels like we're underselling it. Imagine actually living in a place like this. Del Río Núñez Arquitectos designed this space for a bachelor living at the foothills of the Chilean Andes. In fact, almost all of their projects are designed for mountain sites with breathtaking views - perfect eye candy for escapes month...

Yeh, doesn't look like you can just pop out for the paper.

I can actually see myself living in the Farellones house. T think it might actually change my life. I'd be slimmer, healthier, agelessly gorgeous. I'd practice yoga and I'd dress in simple casual-elegant clothing all in the colours of the trees and the sky. I'd live on fresh veggies and water from the fresh mountain streams, and I'd stay fit by washing the windows. Sigh.

I love glass, huge windows and great views. Have to find a talented architect closer to home.
