House C is set within a rural landscape to the southwest of Coyhaique, on a gently sloping 5,000 m² site. Strategically positioned, the project seeks to harmonize architectural design with the natural features of the terrain, while framing sweeping views of Mount Mackay—one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Caption Caption The design brief envisioned a home that would follow the sun’s path, distinctly separate social and private functions, and draw inspiration from the traditional barn structures typical of Patagonia. The result is a composition of two gabled volumes, arranged perpendicularly to one another: Caption Caption The private wing accommodates bedrooms, bathrooms, and a connecting ha... More

The pavilion was born from the desire to rise on a wild and undeveloped piece of land, an artifact that would support the installation of photovoltaic panels to obtain energy for lighting and pumping water. More importantly, the structure establishes a place and provides shelter by giving shadow and light to a large table. Patricio Huidobro Patricio Huidobro Patricio Huidobro Patricio Huidobro Patricio Huidobro Patricio Huidobro The main requirement of the structure was to reach an important height and achieve the angle for an optimal operation of the panels. Two materials were used in the structure: steel and wood. The metal structure allowed us to have long, slender, and light vertical elements, thus blendin... More

Year: 2017Location: ValdiviaDesigned surface: 177.12 m²Clients: Bibiana and EstebanDesign team: WINTERI Architects The location is nourished by the dramatic and wonderful view of the wetlands and Valdivian forest typical of the area. From this majestic environment, a volume begins to be designed, which revolves around two themes: the view and the quest to maximize sunlight. To reinforce this idea, a volume is projected horizontally, from which a front terrace extends, bringing the house closer to the topographic jump on the slope. Being practically "hanging from the hill" the idea was created to create a bridge, which allows the house in Valdivia to be anchored to the land, connecting the rooms and living room of the second level to...

Located in the Llanquihue Lake basin, the project is immersed in an extensive slope of green fields and vestiges of an agricultural past. The sheds that are still preserved, give a touch of melancholy that maintains the tradition and history of colonization in the area, and that together with the view of the lake and volcanoes, becomes the main premise of the project.   An essential part of the project was to find a balance between these elements and maintain the morphology of the terrain, perching on a metal structure that transmits the quality of the stage and at the same time focuses on the daily comfort of its inhabitants. One of its main requirements was to work the house on two levels, the upper level for a program of rooms, r... More
