Plaza de Descanso

The territory covered by the Central Valley is identified by its large production development, the land has value. Is this productive mantle is now the base of the Chilean agricultural economy is populated by identifying from its field. That is why I focus on social concern for the agricultural worker as the greatest deficiencies are concentrated on the conditions under which people are working our land. As the Maule Valley an area renowned for its varied concentration of vineyards, I put my work as a model working relationship between client and workers, providing a place that comply with the part that is not standard and that is not a requirement for this area of industry, such as recreation and relaxation.


Casa Donoso is the vineyard (www.casadonoso.com), recognized for excellence in wine, which is interested and supports the development of this work's title, this in order to provide its workers and tourists a place of retreat from the foliage of the vines. The design began in May 2006 for this and as the main element of the project was the use, recycling, about 50 barrels that had already ended its life as a wine container becoming part Scrap of the vineyard. That is why the re-use of this noble wood (oak-French) became the main subject and fundamental for the development of the project design stage. The basic unit of the barrel is the Duel, even creating her a blanket (and shaded) canopy suspended over the structuring it the same way as they get up the rows of vines, as is the slack at each end of them. The furniture in this Plaza Rest of the vineyard was conducted itself with staves, assembling with them a new configuration of the ground. Field workers have a snack schedule an hour and a half, which hold 20 minutes to eat and rest, rest and distraction, that is why as part of the program included a hopscotch court 14 meters. This project is now part of the journey that makes the visitors to Viña Casa Donoso.
