The owner of the building had the the new building built over his childhood home where he grew up. The architects are Mauricio Pezo, Sofia von Ellrichshausen and this lovely property is located in Chiguayante, Chile.  This is definitely on my favorite looking houses and the design is right up my ally.  You have a large rectangle filled with smaller staggered squares.

The new building comprises twelve rooms arranged around nine courtyards, constructed around the existing trees on the site. Click the image above to be taken the post on dezeen.com
