Bitran and Massai houses are two independent projects, of residences for vacation, ordered in two contiguous sites. Although a relation between the clients exists, and the programs are similar, among them there has been no interaction but that the one to respect the views respectively.

The place where they are located is a pronounced slope on the beach of Cachagua, with a magnificent view to the Pacific Ocean.

The project is to obtain that both houses are the simple sum of these.
Although the materials are similar, the structures are similar, the norm and the wide one of the lots are the same, each one of them represents the way each user lives, and they are these own rituals of each one, what it has done the difference making as a result two sisters who are complemented, instead of two siameses who are confused.
