remo estudio Completes 10 m² Cabin Base Rupanco in Chile's Los Lagos Region
A 10 m² architectural project named Base Rupanco, designed by remo estudio, is planned for completion in 2026 on a forested site in the Los Lagos Region of Chile. The plot is crossed by a river and lies near the mouth of Lago Rupanco, close to Puerto Octay. Andrés Castro served as lead architect, Valentina Díaz curated the project, and Tom Alarcón photographed it; the work falls under the Cabañas & Lodges category. The scheme responds to an existing pattern of occupation: the owners had used the land only occasionally, sleeping in a tent pitched among the trees. Their brief called for an independent bathroom with a WC and a shower, plus a small kitchenette to support gatherings and outdoor activities.
