Halfpipe House

Dream home for skateboarders and surfers on the coast of Chili.

WMR architects created this unique 200-square-foot property in Pichilemu, a coastal resort southwest of Santiago. The Merello House was built for a Chilean professional surfer and the house materializes his dream. A half pipe with a sea view in the middle of the property and the Pacific Ocean only a few footsteps away. The V-shpr pillars suspend the entire inner area of the house, protecting it from high tides and possible tsunami risks.
