Built with SIP panels (Structural Insulated Panels), this house is conceived as an attempt to rationalize this construction material and achieve a maximum optimization of its structural and dimensional qualities. The totality of the house was configured with two kinds of components: wall panels (122 x 244 x 11.4 mm) and split-levelpanels (122 x 488 x 21mm). In just 10 days, 71 wall panels and 40 split-level panels were built. The loss of material was negligible.
FIRST PROJECT OF BIOCLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE IN CHILE
INTERNACIONAL PRIZE OF ENVIROMENTAL ARCHITECTURE (BAQ 2006-Ecuador)
The architecture of the new Distribution Centre of “Farmacias Ahumada· looks for solutions for the distribution and handling of pharmaceutical products, incorporating the latest operational technologies and Bioclimate
It is a simple, categorical and simple architecture in harmony with the natural environment. The building is located in the periphery of the city of Santiago, in a new urban area in development.

The new building, part of Nestlés social block at the Granero factory (VI Región – Chile), uses a variety of bioclimatic strategies, within a company policy of rational use of energy resources and economics in the 21th century. These strategies favorite the usage of natural resources, passive ventilation systems, air-condition and cleaning for inside spaces, natural controlled illumination, effective cost savings in the use of hydrological resources (water consumption of restrooms, etc), by trend to find the best sustainability, quality of life, rational use of resources and protection of the environment.
A volume of simple and emphatic architecture, which reinterprets the anonymous architecture of the coastal valleys in the center of Chile. It poses itself above the soft tree-lined areas, peeking gently with its facades of wood and tones that highlight the luminosity of the place. The body melts down as one with the geography and projects the lines of trees upon his facades. Employs sustainable technologies, creating a favorable mood for work and the production of quality olive oil.
A simple line architecture giving answers for two autonomous processes;, car predelivery and preparation and car spare parts distribution, incorporating latest technologies and bioclimate to the buildings.
The terrain (16 há) is a big esplanade for car parking, consisting of a big park as the central axis , with green and service areas forming differentiated entrances leading to the personnel service building and preceded by a water surface with a totem bearing the company logo. It is a simple architecture of closed big volumes, stainless steel color cut by horizontal window stripes looking like mobile lighting lines ,where red corporate color is determinant in the whole entirety both, day and night. Entrances have also sun and rain protection marquees.
An undulating mantle making an analogy with the geographical area placed in favor of the predominant winds. The use of multiple maintainable technologies creates the suitable environment for working and production of glass bottling.
The project is a Glass Bottle Factory located to the north of Santiago, Chile, in an extremely windy valley surrounded by mountains, called Llay-Llay, which in the mapuche language means wind-wind.
Two volumes with different program, format and materiality are articulated by a social meeting space contained by the buildings of this courier company. Analogy of code bars and the use of corporate colors are expressed as light, color and transparencies lines
An horizontal three stories offices building made of reinforced concrete at sight , coated with glass curtain walls, looking as a suspended skin which changes according to daylight and the observation point. At night, it becomes a lighted surface that seems to float in darkness.

A steel cube supported by concrete walls is the image of a bakery company with an industrial process, located in a new area of corporative buildings.
A new industrial concept for a company dedicated to the production of traditional and elaborated bread of massive consumption , incorporating top technology to all panification processes.
Privileged location in a new area of corporative buildings lead us to create an integrated design where volume was favored as an object.

The Infiniski projects are designed by James & Mau – Architects and designers Jaime Gaztelu and Mauricio Galeano, founders and partners of Infiniski – www.jamesandmau.com. James & Mau offer Innovative and contemporary designs based on bioclimatic and modular architecture. Infiniski is not only green, it is cheaper and faster … it tries to think the values of architecture and construction differently; a contribution to the needs of our changing environment.
“The woods are lovely. Dark and deep” -Robert Frost.
Apollo 11 is a house/studio situated in the middle of a forest of native trees on the outskirts of Santiago at the foot of the Andean cordillera. It was designed as a ‘ship’ that could land in the forest and then later depart, leaving the forest untouched, hence the name Apollo 11. There is also the intent for the space to serve as a laboratory; the house is used as an architecture studio, a rehearsal space and a recording studio for electronic and acoustic music. It is a capsule that has been designed to support its crew – a family of architects and musicians.
