Summary:

Dutch photographer Jeroen Lok went to Coliumo, Chile, to see the famous Casa Poli, designed by Pezo von Ellrichshausen. The summer house and cultural centre has featured in publications worldwide with images showing its pristine state and splendid isolation. In this book, Lok sensitively documents the weathering of the house during almost a decade of existence, and places it in its context of wide open spaces and sea-washed cliffs, which underwent big changes after an earthquake in 2010. The book includes a written commentary by Lok, and an interview by Hans Ibelings with the architects Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen, who reflect on the house and on how it has informed their subsequent work and ideas.
