Pezo von Ellrichshausen Architects took the concept of a simple, rectangular home and crowned it with a jewel of an idea – a totally unique concept in roofing. The result is something quite contemporary and innovative, and certainly unexpected. The modern Parr House in Chiguayante, Chile, has been designed with a standard set of rooms, and a fairly traditional division of interior spaces. But what makes this design truly one-of-a-kind can best be seen from above. An aerial view of the home reveals that each room is topped its own sloping roof, and embedded within each roof – a skylight. Checkered between the roofs of this single-family home, a series of interior courtyards offer views of wide-open sky. This contemporary architectural detail allows for individual yet interconnected interior spaces, each flooded with sunlight by day and by night, each boasting its own celestial centerpiece overhead.
