This is the view from the balcony. You really can't see it in this picture, but between the light post and the tree you can see the ocean.
Also a view from the balcony. Here you can see the ground floor and part of the parking lot.
Here are the stairs, which I luuuuved. The owners chose Chilean Oregon Pine for the staircase and door jambs. It's slightly more expensive than regular pine, but the color is much richer.
One of the first things that shocked me about Chile was how every house seemed to be caged in. This is a typical protection for a window. It's not like crime is rampant, it's just a cultural habit. In any case, thanks to the white paint and wood trim, the iron on this house gives it a Mediterranean feel.
And here's the finished product. (See what I mean about the caging).

It's a very small house compared to American standards, but it falls into an average sized house in Chile. It's only 60 m2 (±645 sq ft) total! Yep, I had to be really careful with the distribution.

WOW! 645 sq ft?! You did an amazing job - I certainly would have guessed it far bigger than that. Beautiful work and I love the wood.
