thanks for the architects comments… I agree with archilocus when he said we should have more architects commenting about their projects… it demonstrates their concerning about what is beeing posted and that they really care about what readers are saying… btw, the project is really strong and perfectly matches the landscape and the needs for the place… congrats!!!!

Thanks to the architects of this nice project to drop in, we should have more often architcts answering comments about their projects.

Concerning the insulation, you’re lucky not to have thermal regulations in Chile ;) Concerning the enveloppe, sure we need to consider the whole thing, and the conductivity of wood, but I seriously doubt this beats 18cm extra of pure EPS… But once again, this helps make the aspect of the thin façade better, so lack of regulations is sometimes great…

About the wood oldness discussion, I agree with you. About humidity though, I’ve learned from experience it is kind of weak to have to rely on thin plastic film pieces taped together to protect a building, but that goes for every building with external skin.

And sorry for this not-funny-at-all technical discussion, which take us far from the aesthetic qualities of the peoject !

In Chile there is no regulation for the insulation for this kind of buildings (only for houses).

The most important thing about insulation is the complete envelope, the heat goes out by the roof. The cold and humidity is on the ground and in this case the wall insulation works ok. Don’t forget the thermal conductivity of the wood.

The used wood is native so it has a very good oldness. any way is protected and the joints are sealed. In the outside face of the insulation there’s also a humidity barrier to avoid any posible leak.

The piles are founded in concrete so ther’s no direct contact with the thick volcanic sand that infiltrate the water very fast.

Hope this information is helpfull

I’m concerned about the finishes. Those wooden support poles may very soon rot since they are in direct contact with the ground. As for the exterior skin, it doesn’t look very waterproof. Water may infiltrate up to the inner wall if the gaps in the insulation plates aren’t sealed.

Aceptadas las disculpas al orgullo, lo escrito suena más grave algunas veces. Pero en rigor no ofendiste, por lo mismo no hay problema. Y en estas localidades siempre se ha disfrutado la libertad pero con la responsabilidad que implica enfrentarse a estos terrirorios particulares, por temperaturas, por aguas, por programa, etcétera. Y en eso la obra aparece muy coherente a su lugar y eso se celebra.
Todo bien.

You probably misunderstood my words, it is definitely not about “soberbia”, I didn’t criticize the project, which I find nice, nor chilean regulations.
It was just sarcasm about the green regulations hysteria which limit our abilities in Switzerland (and not only !) to do such thin skins like this or like the ones you can find in some japanese architecture like Sanaa’s. So yes, enjoy your freedom, because I think you will have similar “problems” in Chile in 10-20 years…
And sorry if I offended your pride, it was not my point ;)

Se entiende que te extrañe los 2 cm de aislación. Pero funciona bien. El standard en Suiza claro que debe ser más exigente, ya que el clima también lo es en comparación a Conguillio. Además es mucho pedir equiparar los standards europeos a los chilenos, un poco de paciencia, Chile tiene otras cosas que regular antes en cuánto a habitabilidad. Me parece un tanto exagerado el “enjoy it people, soon that won`t be possible anymore”, muy cargado de soberbia y alejado del logro real de proyectos como estos.

I mean with increasing concerns about eco and green buildings, regulations tend to require better insulation. Such a thin wall is already impossible in a good part of european countries, excepted for glass façades.
