The Dock House is located in the town of Pichicuy in Chile's Valparaíso region – a mountainous and coastal area about 180 kilometres from Santiago. Built on a sloped site dotted with shrubs the 150-square-metre residence is a short walk from the beach and the Pacific Ocean.

设计方案以丘陵地形为出发点 ， 建筑师希望能在住宅周围建设水景 。

“我们决定将布局限定在一个平面里 ， 将建筑像码头与斜坡相结合 ， 从而与海平线形成联系 。 ”建筑师说 ， 该事务所在圣地亚哥与巴拉斯港均有工作室 。

The design was guided by the hilly terrain and a desire to provide views of the water throughout the dwelling.

"It was decided that the entire layout should be confined to one level establishing a relation to the sea's horizon by way of siting the house against the slope like a dock" said SAA Arquitectura + Territorio which has offices in Santiago and Puerto Varas.
