Pangal Refuge by emA_Arquitectos
Description by emA_Arquitectos
The house is located on the
top of a slope site of 5000 sq. meters, characterized by local trees
like Quillayes, Cactus and Espinos. The principal views points to the
valley and ravines oriented to the north.
The assignment was to
generate a refuge, efficient and simple, from the beginning of the
construction process to his after use. The requirements to generate the
project are basically the access, the implant of the house, the terrace
and the pool, that were condicionated by the local vegetation of the
place, trying not to intervene the natural field. For these reason the
house was design in pilotis and a 40 meters gangway that connect the
access with the house.
Spatially, it must take advantage of the
existing views, incorporating natural light and solar energy, without
losing his privacy and sense of reception.
The house is divided in
two areas maintaining spacial continuous, using the Quillay tree as a
reference of the site to design the house. That is why the social and
services spaces where situated in a higher volume, orientating views
through the north-est, and the dormitory was located in a smaller space
oriented to the north for more privacy.
The structure is made of
steel, chosen because of its faster construction and versatility.
Coverings are made of wood, we used horizontal tongue and groove joint
with dark tint for exteriors and plywood treated on albayalde for
interiors. In both cases the idea was to generate an economic solution,
natural and neutral condition, in response to the exterior and interior
space.
To improve the thermic comfort we use projected polyurethane insulation according to the climate of the place.
The
pool of 2 x 10 and 1.2 meters deep was implanted according to the
natural characteristics of the site. It communicates through the
terraces with housing and corresponds to an extension of it. The roofs
of both volumes are the fifth facade for multiplying situations, routes
and views in contrast to the small dimension house.
The whole
North West facade views are focus to the valley framing the view in one
unique space. This makes you to be part of the environment from the
interior of the house. Our objective was to develop a home friendly
place and away from pretensions.
