Bridging the gap between land and sea on the Chilean coast, Casa Izuga, aka 5 Beams House features, as advertised, five concrete beams supported by walls to the east and west.
The structure – built in 2015 and designed by Gubbins Poldura architects – offers privacy from the neighbours (such as they are), creating concealed spaces on the lower level, half submerged into the hillside, capped with a wall of sea-facing glass.
Public areas on the upper level are likewise encased in glazing with spectacular views of the landscape, expanding via sliding panels into a pool and terrace overlooking the incoming South Pacific waves.
It’s a hard oul’ station, right enough.

BS doing a new Irish Times-style property-porn feature?
You new here? They’ve done loads of these swanky gaff posts
I know, need to work on my mocking tone…
But it is a particularly ugly swanky gaff
That has me beaming
I’d like to have a pad like that at Curracloe strand.
Nah, I’d be wanting 6 beams so I’d have to say no to this.
Good grief!
