Hotel Awasi Patagonia in Chile by FELIPE ASSADI ARQUITECTOS

Located six kilometers from the Torres del Paine National Park and three hours from the nearest urban center, the hotel consists of twelve rooms plus common areas. Our aim was to conceal it within the landscape.

The design is inspired by the traditional constructions of the extreme south of Chile, with a structure visible on the exterior. The modulation of the piers facing the woods and the choice of lenga wood –wich takes on a silvery tone as it ages- allow the constructions to blend into the landscape under certain conditions.

We designed the hotel with those who were going to build it in mind. Nothing was designed that could not be carried out with local technologies and the scarce, uncertain manpower available. There are no sophisticated constructive details, since that is not what mattered. We embraced these constraints as a design strategy.
