The AV house is located in a steep slope. It is an uneven terrain next to a gorge that looks to the south, and it does not face the sea at the east. In order to not miss this view and to protect it from the wind, the house was partially rotated facing east, offering direct visual access to the Pacific Ocean.
The highest point of the house lines up with the street level and the parking space. This way the view to the sea is not blocked.
The BYL Houses are located on the highest buildable area of the slopes on the south side of Cerro Manquehue. This hill is located on the east side of the city, 1,638 meters above sea level, rising as the highest peak in the Valley of Santiago.
In its natural state the 5,200 m2 plot is characterized by its steep slopes, of which were altered partially and leveled prior to the project to locate a house, an internal road, an area for a swimming pool and trails that connect these spaces.
This house is located in an old sector of Chicureo, municipality of Colina, has a big terrain, which provides freedom of design in terms of the layout and orientation.
From the above, the real challenge is to achieve greater control and efficiency for external factors; as the great thermal oscillations between the seasons of the year, solar radiation, pollution and intrusions of third parties to the property. All this without sacrificing spatial quality, functionality, luminosity, views or ventilation.The house is arranged crosswise to the ground, orienting its main facade towards the west, which also faces the street.
This façade is made up of walls that are rather hermetic and, very controlled windows, and protected from sunlight after noon; besides minimizing the views from the street.
Residential house located in Puerto Varas southern Chile, with a rainy oceanic climate with high rainfall. The brief proposes de development of an efficient house in terms of environmental comfort, adapted to its climate and landscape. Trough the analysis of the microclimate, specifically wind and sun, the emplacement was defined: near de South boundary of the plot, in the highest topographic point near the river, oriented to the north with 15º rotation to the west and taking advantage of distant views to the landscape and Maullín river.
Fa house is a project with a privileged location in the top of a hill located in the coastal mountain range. This location allows a panoramic view to the central valley of Chile in the East, with its main glaciers and mountains, such as Mt. Aconcagua (6.962 msnm) and Mt. El Plomo (5.424 msnm), and the Pacific Ocean looking to the west.
Even if this location provides a panoramic view, its gets strong winds from the South and the North.
Objective – Independence between Adults and Youth spaces.
The project is a Vacation House, of approximately 270 m2, on the edge of Lake Rupanco – Chile.
The main requirement was that the adult area be separated from the children’s area as much as possible.
The proposed solution were two different volumes, the Adult and the Youth. These were connected by a gallery, that also was the main access to the house.
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.
This work corresponds to the rehabilitation and expansion of a house built in 1970 in the commune of Las Condes, city of Santiago. It is part of a set of 25 one-story houses, designed by the architects Christian de Groote, Victor Gubbins and Hector Mery. All the houses are arranged in such a way that they adjoin each other, allowing a better use of the land, granting each one a garden to the north and another one to the south. The dividing walls, in turn, consolidate an intermediate walled yard.
The Project is a Synagogue and Community Center for the NBI Community, and it includes a Synagogue, Offices and Meeting Rooms for religious and cultural activities. It houses all the activities of the Community, generally meetings and gatherings of about 300-400 people.
The house was thought based on the attributes of the north-west slope where it is located and the difficulties of the sloping construction. The land is located at the eastern limit of the city, and has a ratio of 1:10 from the road to the change of waters between the Arrayan drawer and the Pochoco mountain drawer-in the outskirts of Santiago-, preserving flora and fauna endemic to Chile. The ascending landscape goes from trees -like quillayes and litres- in the low part, until puyas and cactus at top. On the hillside flow upwards the afternoon warm wind current, attracting the flight of different birds, including eagles and condors.
