The Kikunbera chalet is very transcendent because it is one of the rare buildings of Basque and Spanish architecture that modernity is applied to single-family homes.
The architect Arzadun built a house-boat, an idea strongly influenced by the mechanisation of Modern movement, on a steep slope with wide views of the port of Bermeo. The definitive notes are: offset profiles, masts, portholes, a watchtower to see the sea and an open terrace deck, which is completed with a curved floating body protected by a curved bar railing, as the prow of a boat.
The singularity of this villa was greatly altered with the 2004 reform, due to the fact that the single-family distribution was modified to have three houses and that the original elements (carpentry, hollow bars and balconies, etc.) have been replaced by reproductions of the originals.
