| Sumario: | The growing arrival of migrants to Santiago de Chile has radically modified the ways of understanding, occupying and signifying the private space of the city and at the same time has impacted spatial practices linked to the domestic sphere, through its relation to the situation of high mobility. However, the movements of meanings that occur in this context of living are unknown. The work addresses the spatial resignifications that pre-existing homes in Santiago and their domestic spaces experience with the arrival of migrants, based on a case study carried out between 2017 and 2019 in central Santiago, where an ethnographic, qualitative and interpretive approach of exploratory character. The effects that are established on the uses and meanings of housing in contexts of high mobility projects are considered, especially those on the original spaces and program and the configuration of space and domestic life. The findings show that migrants seek to spatialize life in spaces that allow constitutive spatial practices of their mobility projects. It is necessary to continue investigating the diversity of experiences of living as a migrant in Santiago, in order to validate these approaches.
