This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
This house, completed in 2005 in the small town of Nercón in southern Chile, is built around a central courtyard.
It marks a second project using copper as the principal material for Smiljan Radic architects, who are interested in the changing texture of the facade over time.
