House for a Sculptor / Miles Thorp Architects

House for a Sculptor is a domestic gallery and retreat. Our clients had been living in the property for over 20 years before we were engaged to develop a design for the renovation. At this time, they had fashioned a series of structures at the rear of the property that we were to replace with a more permanent solution. Our challenge was to instill/embed the memory of some of these elements in the new design through measures such as recycling all bricks on site and salvaging original sandstone footings to use as landscape elements.

House 4 Aguas / Viento Norte

Casa 4 Aguas is a single-family house located in the rural sector of Puerto Varas. The lot has a pronounced hill, which at its highest point reaches a view of the Calbuco volcano and Lake Llanquihue. The project adapts to the slope and seizes the views of the lake and volcano.

House in Santa Marinha / Helder da Rocha Arquitectos

In Santa Marinha we had to make three entrances. I don't remember doing anything like that, although that's what we enjoy the most - drawing the entrance and also drawing the terrain. And it is always the most difficult delivery. The exercise was limited by an urban subdivision.

Saint-Louis kindergarten / Janez Nguyen Architects + Linia A&U

The kindergarten takes place in Saint Louis’s hospital in the 10th district of Paris. Located in a heritage area, the project is established on a 350m2 plot, next to an existing kindergarten for hospital staff with a garden that will be shared between the two structures and will host 48 cribs. As the city of Paris requested the building to be dismountable, the architects have opted for dry construction methods and prefabricated wooden structures and dismountable assemblies, allowing a possible deconstruction and future reuse of the building on another site.
