Architettura Contemporanea In Riva Al Mare A Punta Piedra

Located in Punta Piedras, very close to the sea and midway between La Barra and José Ignacio, this property was designed in 2011 by architect Diego Montero.
In 2017, Arquitectura & Diseño magazine featured it in its selection of ten architect-designed second homes. It occupies a 502 m² plot and, following its extension, currently has 390 m² of built area.
Its steel structure, clad in Corten steel, defines the exterior character, while the interiors incorporate recycled pinotea wood more than one hundred years old. Laura Sanjurjo and Aarón Hojman led the interior design project, curating a carefully selected mix of furniture, materials, and pieces from different periods.
In 2022, Diego Montero further renovated the property, adding two new en-suite bedrooms while preserving the original architectural language. The current layout offers four suites on the upper floor and a fifth suite on the ground floor.
The social area comprises a living room, dining room, and open-plan kitchen, plus a guest powder room and a terrace that extends the living spaces outdoors. The house also includes staff quarters and a two-car garage.
The outdoor area, designed by landscape architect Gonzalo Ricci, features a swimming pool measuring 16 meters long by 3 meters wide. In the courtyard, a mural by Ricardo Yates adds an artistic dimension to the ensemble.
Architecture, interior design, art, and landscape coexist in a property with a strong identity, where each intervention maintains a coherent relationship with the original design.
