Budget Townhouses on the Edge of a Golf Course Offer a Relaxing Escape

If you are an avid golfer, then the idea of living on the edge of a golf course is one that would seem pretty appealing; probably even a dream come true! Of course, you might have to be more honest with where you are headed since you cannot get away with a day at the golf course by pretending to have work at office. Houses Townhouse Nocedal is a project designed by Norte Ready Made where a series of residences sits just outside a golf course in Santiago, Chile. Each of the houses is a bit different when it comes to their internal design and yet all of them seem the same on the outside. With central patios and half floors, the design here is unique and eco-friendly.

Te purpose of the half-floors inside the houses is to gradually increase the height indoors without forcing the homeowners to shuttle between different levels constantly. The inner patio also offers a safe refuge along with bringing natural light into the various levels with ease. Apart from the gold course itself, a lovely series of old English oak trees shape the landscape around these independent homes and also provide a natural privacy screen.

On the outside it is metal and wood that shape these houses and their smart design employs passive heating and cooling techniques that cut down reliance on artificial sources. Glass walls, smart shutters and modern décor complete these contemporary Chilean homes where life feels like an absolute breeze! [Photography: Pablo Blanco and Viviana Morales]

    The design strategy of this house is based on a commitment to artisanal constructive honesty, the respect towards natural context in an urban area, and the constant search for a way of inhabiting where material austerity provides spatial quality. The main body of the house is located in the southern boundary of the land, respecting the 3 preexisting fruit trees on the north side and taking advantage of the best ventilation and natural light possible. The program, which includes 2 bedrooms, social area, a family room and services, is condensed in a monolithic block to reduce its footprint. As a main strategy, the upper roof tilts 21 degrees, prioritizing the northern bedroom spaces and reducing the southern service spaces. The subtraction and rotation of a middle segment generates a shift in between the upper floor bedrooms, allowing cross ventilation, as well as the accommodation of rooftop equipment and the plumbing and electrical ducting. In section, the composition allows the circulation of north-south winds, cooling the kitchen by the hot air escape achieved through height differences. The constructive solution contemplates material honesty in all the elements. The concrete walls on ground floor, pured with recycled formwork, give an imperfect finish consistent with the roof’s austerity, but contrasted with the cleanliness and volumetric continuity of the upper floor finish. To reduce economic impact, ceiling and floor finishings and tilings were completely eliminated using bare concrete floors and, in order to express the constructive and structural performance, the roofs use a system of bare concrete joists in combination with vaulted pieces, designed and manufactured using a mold made with local artisan blacksmithing.
