Homes that respect the landscape and optimize views

The Mirador Los Trapenses Residential Complex arises from a Master Plan competition to build on a land with extreme slopes in Lo Barnechea. Its design respects the topography and maximizes integration with the landscape.

The project includes 21 houses and 36 apartments, strategically organized to optimize views and energy efficiency. Sustainability is prioritized with low-impact materials and the conservation of native vegetation, balancing habitability and respect for the natural environment.

The Los Trapenses Viewpoint redefines architecture on steep slopes, balancing integration with the landscape and quality of life.

Its design responds to geography, maximising views and sustainability, consolidating an efficient housing model that respects the natural environment.

Terrain

The design adapts to a steep terrain, taking advantage of the topography to minimize interventions.

Habitability

The houses and apartments are strategically located to optimize views and maximize thermal and light comfort.

Sustainability

Use of materials with low environmental impact and energy efficiency strategies to reduce the ecological footprint.

Design

"Valley" and "summit" typologies differentiate homes according to their orientation and relationship with the environment

Connectivity

The location guarantees proximity to urban facilities without affecting the tranquility of the sector.
