Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Makuc House in Chiloé, Chile by OruzarGebauer ArchitectsJune 17th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: OruzarGebauer Architects This project is located in the north of the big island of Chiloé, in an area called Huei hue, where the sea penetrates the land as a stretchmark, weaving a close relationship between land and sea. The terrain is located in a sort of a peninsula from where it strategically dominates the relations with its surroundings: on the one hand, the inland entries of the sea that come from this arm, and on the other hand the immeasurable Gulf of Ancud, having as its backdrop the detachment of the Andes and its volcanoes, generously receiving the light from the east, north and west, and thus exposing itself incidentally to the strong winds and rain coming from the northwest.

An elderly couple with grown children, grandchildren, and friends, where all need their space and where the house is not always used simultaneously. The house must adapt as much as to two people and fifteen people alike, always practical and comfortable in its different functions.

These volumes emplaced each guest’s and children’s bedrooms with their own bathrooms by way of another independent houses, which is enabled only when used. That way the house is inhabited by openings and enclosures, like floodgates, which open depending on the number of members, accommodating itself to the needs and requirements in their specific times.
