Thor House / Grass+Batz Arquitectos

Andreas Luco — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 03:00:00 +0000

After the Pandemic lockdown, we designed Thor House as a project that seeks to generate an opportunity to live with more space, with a garden, combining family life and work life. The project starts from the partial recovery of an existing 70 square meter house, removing all the interior partitions of its structure, turning it into a common space - integrating kitchen, dining room, and living room: building the negative, transforming the existing built mass into a volume of air for the new house.

JAA 2760 Apartments / Peñafiel Arquitectos

Benjamin Zapico — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 16:00:00 +0000

The neighborhood of Vitacura between Espoz, Nueva Costanera, Américo Vespucio, and Alonso de Córdova streets, was born from an urbanization project for single-family homes in the middle of the 20th century. The main luxury of this project is that it was commissioned by its future residents, and not solely for commercial purposes. As architects, we were able to plan the building thinking about its architectural quality and the quality of life for its clients. On the 1,450 m2 plot, there was a house, and the initial lines for this project aimed to fit, as much as possible, the concept and image of a house. This includes its scale, way of life, relationship with the ground, and relationship with neighbors.

Andreas Luco — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 16:00:00 +0000

This new urban house is inserted into a neighborhood of mid 60's modern architecture houses in Santiago. An urban area that is distinguished by large sites, aged trees, and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. The main aim of the project is to construct a compact and rough architecture that accommodates contemporary life, but at the same time safeguards the memory of the urban context, emphasizing the material dialogue and space relationships with the existing types of old modern houses of the context.

Andreas Luco — Fri, 05 May 2023 11:00:00 +0000

This single-family residential project is part of a renovation and remodeling process of an existing house in a low-density residential area in the Vitacura municipality. On a plot of approximately 4,300 square feet (400 m2), the existing house was almost unrecognizable from the original due to precarious and poorly executed additions.

P Offices / Estudio Valdés +

Andreas Luco — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The challenge of the proposal was to articulate the entire program required for an office through a simple layout, expanding the spatial sensation of the interior through views of the city. The office program includes private spaces (offices), open common areas (terraces and meeting rooms), and enclosed service areas (storage rooms and restrooms). The layout was organized around a core concept: all enclosed areas were placed in a central core, leaving all private offices along its perimeter, and ending at both extremes with the open common areas, the meeting rooms, and the terrace.

Enfermedades Preciosas Installation / Iván Bravo Arquitectos

There are many reasons why we can find plant species inside an architectural space and in almost every one of them is evident the desire of architecture to differentiate itself from the plant and reduce it, at best, to ornamentation contained in an autonomous device called building. Hiding in the process all traces of a common origin. The museum room is one of these places where architecture strives to hide its natural reality in order to become a curtain that hides behind it everything, we think we know. Where the planet disappears to make room only for representations of it.
