The Donoso-Smith House designed by EMa arquitectos + Raimundo Salgado is actually a pretty special place because of the developer’s request of transforming it into an apart-from-the-rest-of-the-market project.
Located in Los Dominicos, Santiago, the residence maintains through its rectangular volumes a low profile street level but expands as you make your way into the site.
The outdoor swimming pool connects perfectly with the lower level which contains large lighten windows.
The house is structured by two volumes connected by a double-high hall, while through the dwellingseveral patios have their own arranged place that give the owner the chance of being outdoors. What could be fancier than that?

Architecture often forgets that true luxury lies in the pause between spaces. These patios and volumes do not just house life; they curate it, turning a simple walk into a deliberate ritual of presence.
Thank you for that beautiful insight! We truly believe architecture should elevate daily rituals. It was a joy to collaborate with Raimundo Salgado to craft those pauses, ensuring every space invites presence. We’re glad the design resonates with you.
