It is good at times to get away from it all. We must have harped about this endlessly, but it does feel like something we all so desperately need. Moving away from the mundane hotel experience and offering its clients something both unique and visually exceptional is the Sacromonte Landscape Hotel Shelters designed by MAPA, which sits in the heart of some the most beautiful landscape that you will ever see! Nestled in the beautiful wine country of El Edén, Departamento de Maldonado, Uruguay, the hotel is a collection of 13 cabins – 4 shelters and 9 landscape shelters – that are dispersed across the select Sacromonte backdrop.

On the outside, the cabin is covered with reflective glass panels on one side, allowing those inside to enjoy the stunning scenery outside in an unabated fashion. Stone and wood also help in giving these modular units a warm and rustic appeal while a luxurious interior offers guests everything they need. Using organic materials and vernacular elements, each of the prefabs blends into the landscape effortlessly even while ensuring it presents a refined, contemporary picture. AN open plan, living, kitchen and dining is combined with smart reading nooks inside with the world outdoors becoming an integral part of it all.

In this idyllic landscape, young vineyards adapted to the unique characteristics of its soil, interact with a hill from which the entire spot may be observed, with its lush grasslands, natural spring water reservoirs and several streams that run through the valley densely surrounded by pristine vegetation. It is the contemporary explorer who will rewrite its own script, co-starring the landscape while walking through a wide range of scenarios.

PDC House

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.
