L-Shaped Home with Ocean Views Provides the Perfect Perennial Escape

Think of a home that is set in a distant landscape, away from the hustle and bustle of big city life, bright lights and surrounded by greenery along with lovely ocean views and inevitably it is a holiday house that allows you to reconnect with nature. But nestled amidst the scenic and isolated landscape of Cáhuil, Chile and overlooking the distant ocean, BL 1 by UMWELT is a home that has been built for a family who decided to leave behind the city lights on a more permanent basis for a more tranquil life. This is a home that combines natural beauty with unique design and an interior that feels relaxing.
