该项目基本上包括在洛斯里奥斯区瓦尔迪维亚的卡莱-卡莱河畔为一位大学教授建造住所。场地位于智利南方大学附近,特别是在校园的一个西角。有限的面积使我们选择了一个紧凑的形式,南方严酷的气候促使我们思考建筑更注重自身,试图与外界产生交流。

The commission consisted basically of a shelter for a university professor on the banks of the Calle-Calle river, in Valdivia, Región de Los Ríos. The site is located within the vicinity of the Universidad Austral de Chile, specifically in a west corner of the campus. The limited size led us to a compact form and the harsh southern climate induced us to think of architecture more focused on itself, one that would try to generate exchanges with the outside.

另一方面,不影响其他建筑的视线的要求表明了垂直于河流的布局,这一要求与我们最初的问题有关。我们希望与河流建立什么样的关系:传统的关系,即寻求每个项目围墙都能与这一独特的地理元素相悦?或者说,选择在哪里以及如何获得这种视觉享受的关系?所选择的是后者;短舱的顶部路径是体积的唯一视觉泄漏,也是方案中最有趣的空间所在的地方。

On the other hand, the requirement of not interrupting the view of other buildings suggested a layout perpendicular to the river, this requirement was linked to our initial question: What kind of relationship with the river do we want: a traditional one, which seeks that each program enclosure manages to please itself with this unique geographical element? Or rather, one that selects where and how this visual pleasure is obtained? The selected one was the latter; the top of the short cabin’s path is the only visual leakage of the volume and where the most interesting space of the proposal is located.

一个额外的被迫的脚的存在;那就是创造一个有盖的空间来庇护一些物体和航海文物,这导致了我们的一个关键想法,那就是提升这个拉长的体积的一部分,在内部创造一个更大的高度的空间。通过这种方式,船舱的开放平面(选择它是为了给紧凑的程序提供一定的幅度)被一个关键的中心元素重新制定:看台,一个组件,虽然它限制了传统的自由地板,但由于其巨大的灵活性和广泛的可能性而与之相连。因此,这些不同的楼层既是客厅,又是餐桌的座位,此外还作为一个过渡空间发挥作用。

The existence of an additional forced foot; that of creating a covered space to shelter some objects and nautical artifacts, led us to a key idea, that of elevating a sector of this elongated volume creating a space of greater height in the interior. In this way, the open plan of the cabin (chosen to provide a certain amplitude to the tight program) is reformulated by a key central element: the stands, a component that, although it limits the traditional free floor, is linked to it by its great flexibility and its wide range of possibilities. Thus, these different levels become both the living room and the seating for the dining table, in addition to functioning as a transitional space.

巅峰和最后一点,体积的视觉逃逸出现在这里,是通过一个大幕墙实现的,这里是书桌和床的位置。这个空间以一种奇特的方式直接面对河流:它的升高条件缩短了河流和小屋之间的距离,使与河流的距离在视觉上消失,同时也为用户产生了一个不同的视觉地平线和一个特殊的感知。

The culmination and final point, where the visual escape of the volume appears, is achieved through a large curtain wall, this is where the desk and bed are located. This space faces directly to the river in a singular way: its elevated condition shortens the range between the river and the cabin, making the distance to the river visually disappear, as well as generating a different visual horizon and a particular perception for the user.
