Based on this idea, we were interested in such manner, that “ramadas” (a structure built for the celebration of independence), used eucalyptus branches, making the skin, the register kept during the day, changing the perception of interior space. At the same time we take the concept of the circulatory system from the old home country of Chile. An open corridor, which in this case linking the program with perimetral way. Other materials, like steel for structures, and reinforced concrete for a barbecue and fireplace, where it is also used. This project is administered through a barbecue area, main hall, where most activities are done. Other areas such as swimming pool, hot tub and fire place, connected to the main room, allowing different ambiences, all connected visually. All areas covered as one large room, with bark, consisting of 1 × 3 inch wood boards Ulmo, interior-exterior gives the feeling that we want to achieve. Gym, massage room and steam bath, connected with the whole program, but where is understood more as a personal space. This project is located in a plane high in the garden 2 acres, so it will ignore the valleys, and fruit tree plantations, adding to the garden area last. So we built a ventilation space, covered with bark, that during the very hot summer Chile, that’s cool shade, and during the winter, this is a warm interior, really connected with the garden and valley views Leyda.
