ARCHITECTURE DESING

Terrantai was built in San Pedro de Atacama with the materials taken from earth of the surrounding desert. In this way the architect, Matias Klotz, was able to use techniques developed thousands of years ago, with local elders teaching young architects new skills.
The stone used in Terrantai is of a beauty that is awe-inspiring.
The walls consist of individually selected stones placed with care.and adobe prepared under the hot September sun. The roof was preserved from the original house.
We have tried to preserve our heritage in this building, in order to continue the traditions of hospitality in the comfort and spaciousness, peace and tranquility which we offer here. Our visitors will find relaxation in the human spaces, the stone alleyways, patios, terraces, restaurant, and beautiful rooms in this building, designed by an award- winning architect using the skills and wisdom of our ancestors and inspired modern creativity
