Chilean studio Max-A combined local materials with modular construction to keep costs down on Casa Tobita, a holiday home built for less that £115,000.
Located on the east side of Lake Ranco, the fourth biggest lake in Chile, the single-storey house is a rural retreat for couple Cristóbal Concha and Francisca Eguiguren.
The total build cost for the 270 square-metre project was 110 million Chilean pesos, which equates to just under £115,000, or £425 per square metre.
Max-A principal Maximiliano Noguera Balmaceda achieved this by designing a house that could be easily constructed by local builders, using materials that can be sourced from the region, to reduce transport costs.
