Context
The pavilion is located on the southern shore of Lake Llanquihue, on former grazing land with open views toward the Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes. The site retains traces of rural use—clearings, pathways, fences—intertwined with regenerating vegetation. This overlap of natural landscape and productive memory forms the project’s foundation.

Brief
The commission called for a communal structure incorporating children's play areas, a barbecue zone, and rest spaces, with a restrained architectural language and low environmental impact.

Design Strategy
The proposal operates across three complementary scales:

At the territorial scale, two red beams frame the volcanoes and define the primary axis.

At the intermediate scale, stone walls and volcanic rocks embed the structure within the topography.

At the human scale, local timber and simple modulation reference rural barns, with exposed joints and a reinterpreted use of traditional color.

The pavilion rests lightly on the ground with minimal foundations, allowing for removal or reconfiguration. It includes open areas for circulation, gathering, and play.

Outcome
The result is a restrained and precise structure, designed not to dominate but to accompany. The Volcanoes Pavilion offers an essential infrastructure for gathering and contemplation, built with technical clarity and a deep connection to place.
