The program called for a new space for the Estancia La Paz Golf clubhouse: a shaded pavilion beside the 18th hole, capable of sheltering golfers at the end of the course’s extensive journey (7,360 yards).
The existing landscape — a superimposition of interventions revealing the passage of time and the site’s longevity — evoked a profound sense of respect. The architectural intervention sought to establish a silent relationship with this context and, from there, operate with subtlety. The pavilion is positioned beneath a grove of pecan trees, seeking an intimate proximity to the 18th hole.
The project is organized around a single section whose repetition simplifies and optimizes the construction process, lending clarity and precision to the piece. The circulation plane is elevated above the natural terrain, offering privileged views of the landscape and of the game unfolding on the putting surface.
The roof extends beyond the pavilion’s perimeter to protect it from weather conditions, while its gentle inclination establishes a visual relationship with the golfers positioned atop the green’s mound. A system of sliding glazed enclosures accompanies the flexible logic of the open plan, allowing for multiple configurations of openness and use.
