ArchShowcase Sumit Singhal
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. Casa PH2 in Padre Hurtado, Chile by Dx ArquitectosJanuary 24th, 2019 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Dx Arquitectos The house PH2 is a three-slope monovolume, fully dressed in rusty tin on site, material taken from the rural environment, where agro-industrial buildings abound in various states of destruction. This “architecture without architects” that benefits from the lack of pretension serves us as a material reference, delimiting a stripped and essential formal language. The history of its development establishes a reflection on the individuality of the assignment and the traffic of ideas that go from one project to another. We made two previous versions of this house, which both were out of what the principal was willing to spend, facing the cessation of the project, we wanted to rethink it based on a scheme proposed several years earlier in the form of the “Chilean House for a Gringo ” A habitat limited to the iconic and pragmatic needs in an indistinct environment. A postmodern version of the Maison Domino by Le Corbusier to carry in your pocket and install at your leisure.
