Under a Single Roof Canopy | A6 House

ByMyProperty Life

With an area of 220m², the house is organized under a single roof, supported by two longitudinal reinforced concrete beams. These beams, supported by four pillars, allow for a separation between the roof and the block, enabling a sense of fluidity and openness in the internal spaces.

The design of the house prioritizes connection with nature, with wide openings that allow views of the garden and pool from the entrance hall. The sparse configuration of the internal spaces creates opportunities for natural lighting and cross ventilation, providing an airy and bright environment.

The central atrium plays a fundamental role in integrating the different environments of the house, absorbing the permeability of the areas and allowing for smooth circulation throughout the space. Additionally, the project seeks to dismantle traditional boundaries between the construction and the lot, incorporating the surrounding landscape as an integral part of the residential experience.

The careful choice of construction materials, such as exposed concrete, miracema stones, and metal panels, contributes to the unique identity of the house, while providing clarity in the perception of architectural elements.

  • Maullin Lodge

    This lodge is a 120m2 house located in a rural scene in a southern region of Chile. The brief was to design a house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a main shared space, interpreting an old small traditional southern Chilean dwelling. The challenge of the proposal was to get that traditional southern look, which implies very opaque facades, but with a full translucent side where the landscape and light can get inside the building, creating its own private world. The house is placed between a forest of native trees, giving its back to the main street. So, the house is oriented to the north and west to get the most of sunlight, which this south down is much appreciated. The concept of the design is organized based on 3 contrast between old and new:
    1- Removing non-structural walls and floors: the main structural shape and volume are maintained the same as the old traditional house, but the interior is liberated from any non-structural dividing element, which helped to create a clean and continuous space.
    2- Concentrating the apertures: The main source of light is the north façade, keeping the other free opaque as a traditional southern house would have, so the proportion of void and mass was not lost.
    3- Material contrast: Big floor to ceiling windows in contrast to recycled traditional timber shingles, an evident contrast between old and new. The distribution of the house is developed in an almost square plan, divided into three volumes:
    The main one has the public areas of the house: kitchen, dining room, sitting room and mezzanine.
    The east one, the widest, has sleeping rooms and bathrooms with the main access of the house.
    And the west one is 1.5m wide acting as a corridor and informal dining room adjacent to the public areas of the main volume. The mezzanine is an opportunity to use the roof space, with a lot of light and natural heating, having control over the main space.
