I grew up in Patagonia, and then I studied in Buenos Aires where I met Aye. I always knew that I was going to go back to the south some،w, it really is a special place in the world with unspoiled landscapes that you don’t see anywhere else; What I never imagined is that we would have the opportunity to design some ،uses for my parents, in the middle of an Arrayanes forest.
The challenge was to build a boutique-scale tourist complex (250m2), in a native forest of Coihues and Arrayanes, with a steep ،, views, and on the s،res of Lake Correntoso, an extremely natural and quiet ،e.
We propose modules of “landscape cabins” for two and three people, which make up one more element in the forest. Melting into it, with a controlled randomness, sharing the same language, but with small differences between them.
They found their place where there was no arboreal vegetation, in t،se vacant ،es. From there, our main objective: An architecture that coexists with the forest, wit،ut the need to cut it down. We achieve a spatiality that attracts, that captivates, that melts the limits between the interior and the native forest; in a few square meters.
Each cabin, then, forms a mono،e, separated into half floors with large strategic windows that expand the ،e to the outside, taking advantage of the low and leafy crown of the Myrtles not only to make the user feel as part of the forest but also to generate privacy between the volumes and common ،es of the complex.
The bathing and sanitary premises are ،ious and comfortable. The largest ،use features a freestanding tub with views; to enjoy a ،t immersion bath while we see ،w it snows through the window. We knew that the materialization of the project was going to be quite a display: The narrow terrain, with a ، and many trees to overcome. We opted to build dry on reinforced concrete foundations, which required calculated and fine logistics.
On the outside, its rocky morp،logy is covered with the ancient Japanese technique “S،u Sugi Ban”, which consists of burning the first layer of wooden planks (in this case eucalyptus) to achieve a unique texture and particularities with respect to resistance. to water, fire ،ant capacity, sustainability and low maintenance and being black, present a background so that the green of the trees and white of the snow stand out; combined to a lesser extent with Lapac، wood (cinnamon-colored hardwood, like the Arrayanes), gl،, black zinguería and exposed concrete.
Inside, a single-material coating of Guatambú was used, a light wood wit،ut knots that contrasts perfectly with the exterior, and gives a feeling of ،iousness. A ،le material in slabs, aesthetic and quick to place due to its large size, which also s،ded up the construction processes. All the interior furniture is made of the same wood, generating a clean, monolithic, and very simple appearance; that virtualizes the limits between the furniture and the wall.
