A young couple had a dream of owning a space where they could invite both their family and friends during holidays away from Santiago, Chile . To create a spectacular and cozy space, the couple’s core concepts for their home, Minga Verde , was to incorporate a single large display window that would provide panoramic views of the surrounding site, and to create and outdoor space that would promote outdoor activities, socials, and more. The home is split between a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, and an exterior terrace with a barbecue spot. All the areas are sheltered under a big roof, and users can appreciate the surroundings from inside at all times, given the side-to-side glazing on south façade. The home also incorporates passive energy technologies and the installation of solar panels atop the roof, ensuring the provision of free hot water and electricity year round. + Minga Verde The article above was submitted to us by an Inhabitat reader.
