Article source: Cristián Izquierdo Lehmann Located on the western shore of Lake Ranco, in the south of Chile, this vacation house has the capacity to host up to 18 people. The main challenge of the project was to make a compact villa composed by relatively independent parts.  Image Courtesy © Cristián Izquierdo Lehmann

A composition of separate parts entails an addition of rooms with a self-centered shape in plan as well as in section—reducing the internal links while allowing multiple contacts with the outside. The project tries to juxtapose these two compositional approaches within an external structure common to both.

The main floor’s internal configuration is defined by an “H” shape within a nine square grid, in order to gradually enter from the outside to the center, and from there to each room. All these parts are covered by a symmetrical four-pitched structure made of metal beams, directly supported on metal columns with different heights, following the levels of the ground.

The structure is autonomous and relates only the crucial parts of the project, aiming to balance the attributes of the building as a whole with the specific requirements of its parts.
