Twin House / Laboratorio de Arquitectura

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 03:00:00 +0000

The house is immersed in the Yucatan coast in a 7 meters front seaview. With the intention of respecting the ground where it is located, the house is built with a cartesian structure of concrete columns and ceilings that in the distance purposely appear a great lightness, and under it roof creates a great atmosphere that brings refuge and favors coexistence.

Implantation and access concepts are sufficient to explain the project. Some golfers say that in this competition the opponent is the golf course, not another player.

Hammock House / Javier Corvalán + Laboratorio de Arquitectura

We found no better name for this house, not only due to the formal outcome of the envelope, but because of the structural concept that stabilizes it. Two aligned end blocks counterbalance the roof, the formal result of copying the parabola of the corresponding catenary. The mixed structure, comprised of wet and dry construction, consists of two recovered iron frames supporting a network of 10mm rods, which carry loads (tension), diverting and anchoring to the weights of the brick walls in the form of boxes that rest on concrete skis, some on the ground and partly on a cantilever bracket supported with the above mentioned tensors. The final cladding is made of galvanized sheet metal attached to the network of rods and increased in weight by hanging stones.
