Curicó / Chile / 2023
The assignment consisted of a small House to enjoy the beauty of the Maulino Forest in the Andes Mountains, in the Central-South Zone of Chile.
The place is an oak forest, located at an approximate height of 950 meters above sea level.
At this altitude, the temperature is never very high and the Oak Trees, being deciduous, mean that the landscape changes constantly.
During the year the colors of the forest and the light vary in a continuous cycle that provides a very special spectacle.
These characteristics provide a unique opportunity to generate a fully glazed interior space, which allows you to perceive and contemplate the forest in its real magnitude, the vertical, without running the risk of it being very hot.
Being immersed in a deciduous forest, during the summer, the space is protected by the shade of the leaves, while as the cold winter approaches, it progressively receives sunlight entering the interior with the falling of the leaves.
The project in this way proposes an interior space totally linked to Nature and the exterior, through a fully glazed envelope, like a Greenhouse, but Inverted, where the plants are not inside, but outside, and the people are inside. , are surrounded by the landscape and the trees.
The glass space houses the main and more public spaces, such as the living room, dining room and kitchen, while the bedrooms are more closed to provide greater privacy.
The structure is made of wood, due to being a quick construction system and easy to transport, considering the difficulty of access and remoteness of the place.
The program is carried out on two floors to concentrate and reduce the surface area of land occupation, seeking the least possible impact on the forest.

El encargo consistió en una Casa pequeña para disfrutar de la belleza del Bosque Maulino en la Cordillera de los Andes, en la Zona Centro-Sur de Chile.
El lugar es un bosque de Robles, ubicado a una altura aproximada de 950 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
A esta altura, la temperatura nunca es muy elevada y los Robles al ser caducos hacen que el paisaje cambie constantemente.
Durante el año los colores del bosque y la luz, varían en un ciclo continuo que brinda un espectáculo muy especial.
Éstas características, entregan una oportunidad única de poder generar un espacio interior totalmente acristalado, que permite percibir y contemplar el bosque en su real magnitud, la vertical , sin correr el riesgo de que sea muy caluroso.
Al estar inmerso en un bosque caduco, durante el verano, el espacio es protegido por la sombra de las hojas, mientras que a medida que se acerca el frío invierno, recibe progresivamente el ingreso de luz solar al interior con el caer de las hojas.
El proyecto de esta manera, propone un espacio interior totalmente vinculado a la Naturaleza y al exterior, a través de una envolvente totalmente acristalada, como un Invernadero, pero Invertido, donde las plantas no están adentro, si no afuera, y las personas, adentro, son envueltas por el paisaje y los árboles.
El espacio acristalado alberga los recintos principales y más públicos, como living, comedor y cocina, mientras que los dormitorios se resuelven más cerrados para dar mayor intimidad.
La estructura es de madera, debido a ser un sistema constructivo rápido y de fácil de transporte, considerando la dificultad de acceso y lejanía del lugar.
El programa se desarrolla en dos plantas para concentrar y disminuir la superficie de ocupación de suelo, buscando el menor impacto posible en el bosque.
