Hebra Arquitectos lifts Quilanto House above forested site in Chile

Chilean studio Hebra Arquitectos has completed an elevated, wood-and-glass cabin that is designed to have a small footprint and accommodate a person in a wheelchair.
The Quilanto House is located in southern Chile's Los Rios region, near Ranco Lake.
Tucked into a wooded site, it serves as a nature retreat for a single mother and her adult daughter, who has reduced mobility. It was built in just eight months.
