House Accountant - Riesco + Rivera Arquitectos
The commission is the usual program of second homes on the beach, with a limited budget. The place is a desolate landscape on the edge of the Pacific Coast. The region is dominated by the colors of a wild and dry climate of Central Chile has not yet been transformed by man.
was proposed to divide the house into 3 separate units defined, but with a reading unit, both spatial and programmatic, so they can be used separately and each realized spatially use. The first: a public (and integrated facilities in the building volume), the second: a unit of children and the third: the master bedroom.
For this we resorted to the conventional inventory space, program and construction system (Canadian), its low maintenance cost and thermal qualities. This delimited the minimum standard size for each unit in a house of 140 m2 and defined materiality.
Through this exercise, we defined the basic rules of design. Changes to the "standard" and the articulation between spaces, define the character and qualities. Minor modifications in the search for minimizing costs, material handling and qualify the different drawing views and sunny spaces, forced to project to the standard dimensions of the various panels, reusing bits and using structural and interior finishing panels.
To increase the distance and qualify each unit is separated horizontally and vertically through a light-accessible playground, balconies and small breaks that open and close views, light and space.
