This lakeside house, cascading down a steep slope above the shores of Lake Panguipulli in Los Ríos in Chile, is Casa Pyr, a new project from the Santiago-based Cazú Zegers Arquitectura. The house was commissioned by an artist and her husband, who returned to Chile after living abroad, choosing a tricky site in an area where they had holidayed in the past to build their new house. On paper, the plot was perfect, but as architect Cazú Zegers explains, the process was long and deeply involved, not least because the pandemic interrupted it.
