Simonetti Office Building
by Alejandro Simonetti, Cristian Undurraga
The El Golf neighborhood of Santiago was founded in the beginning of the second half of the 20th Century, faithful to the strategy of a “garden city”. Presidente Errázuriz Avenue in the heart of the neighborhood has been kept out of the transformation, and a glimpse of the splendour that once characterized this zone can be seen on it.
Duoc Antonio Varas Building
It is designed as a 15-storey tower which takes the shape of the patio on the ground level in its higher floors. The geometrical idea is that of a filmstrip that defines the exterior spaces and the double-height interiors through a series of continuous folds like an arabesque, which in turn creates an abstraction and concept of the foliage and branches of a tree.
Huentelauquen House
This vacation house is located on a rural estate in the town of Huentelauquén in the fourth region. It is facing the sea, on the edge of a windswept plateau, and built 40 meters above the beach. It stretches along the length of this horizontal edge, and is buried so as to disappear into the plateau’s ground, with only 5 chimneys sticking out like watchtowers facing the sea. In the layout, the rooms are aligned in a line to face the ocean horizon, away from the retaining wall of the property at its back, creating a sunken courtyard sheltered from the wind. The living and dining rooms are open on both sides throughout its length with a pair of running windows, suspended between the ocean horizon and the excavated area of the courtyard. The courtyard is the main feature of the house, and from it, the house opens up to the horizon through the double running window of the living room. The interior of the house is accessed through this living room, with the master bedroom and its toilet on one side, and the kitchen with the service areas on the opposite side. The 4 children and guest bedrooms are placed in a series and are accessed from the covered walkway that runs along the courtyard outside.
Jaime Guzmán Errázuriz Memorial Project
The project’s central aim was to present to the city an area to commemorate the life and work of Jaime Guzmán E, through a public extension centre and a large urban space.
Zapallar Bridge
This bridge, built over a coastal highway that connects a group of low income residences in Zapallar, provides various visual interpretations and ensures safe pedestrian traffic in the area.
Saint John´s School
The Saint John´s School Educational Corporation called for a private contest for the design of there new installations in El Venado of San Pedro de la Paz.
Cruz del Sur Building
by Luis Izquierdo y Antonia Lehmann
The project consists of an office tower with a commercial complex in the base, located at the intersection of Apoquindo Av, main axis of Santiago, and Americo Vespucio Av, the capital’s circular beltway. This place is poorly laid out despite its urban importance as a cloverleaf intersection surrounded by several buildings of varying height and quality, many of which were shaped by a disastrous old regulation of gradients nicknamed “the shoe shine box".
Casa Graneros
The house is situated on Pan de Azúcar Hill, in Graneros, 75 kilometers south of Santiago. Casa graneros is conceived as a place to rest for multiple families only at 45 minutes from the city. The construction is located on the slope, just over the ruins of an old house, which was completely burnt on a fire. The needs of a growing family, now with grandsons and their friends, required that the house had to be spatially generous.
Commercial Complex Plaza del Carmen
In the last years Luis Pasteur Avenue has become a long commercial boulevard, with several analog groups, forming a semi continuous edification with 2 floors, quite orderly.
