Architects Branko Pavlovic and Luca Montanarella founded Whale! in Santiago de Chile in 2012. The architecture and construction firm has 9 built projects, including 3 houses, that each have unique timber structures that are sensitively placed in coastal locations in Chile. The design is respectful of the rural heritage of the central coast and acknowledges the topography of the landscape. whalearchitecture.com
