The buildings, which have aptly been titled 'BL1' and 'BL2,' are designed by Chilean architecture firm Umwelt. The aesthetic of the building is incredibly contemporary as the [richly colored wooden facade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tallowwood-cabin) is complemented by a darker wood framework. BL1 and BL2 are located in Cáhuil. The detached cabin is designed to cater to a more rural and nature-focused lifestyle. Umwelt attempted to do this through design with [open-concept layouts and lush outdoor patios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-am-lagnesberg). Moreover, the residences are designed to cater to a sociable and active lifestyle as there is ample room to store things like surfboards or have guests over.
