The stilt Castro are in the process of recovery, events, buildings that are located on pillars of Luma and Cypress. The stilt Pedro Montt, one of three districts of stilt houses in the city of Castro, undertake its annexation to this list of contributions to the city's image and cultural value of these typical buildings on the sea.

It seems hard to believe that this legendary neighborhood is sadly neglected stilts, in a high state of deterioration due to high maintenance costs and discouragement and interest of authorities and the municipality.

To the other side, towards the sea, is assembled a unique double height, an integrated, to share and live the experience of the tides, of the southern channels and the surrounding fauna. Your inner facade is a collage of windows that make the idea of paintings of the sea, drawing the surrounding landscape, such as photographs.

From the outside, colorful cloths are arranged randomly as the stilt houses themselves are organized, integrating the "grain", the "dispersion" of their environment and using the colors freely wielded by artisanal vessels "waterlines red, yellow helmets , and blue booths ".
