Tekila House / Medio Arquitectura

Tekila House is located in the south of Chile, in the Araucanía region, a few kilometers away from Lican Ray. The main requirement was to design an efficient, comfortable, well-lit house with a good view of the lake. The site is defined by Lake Calafquen to the south and the native forest to the north. The main decision was to raise the project from ground level with two objectives; the first is to face the north, the sun in the southern-hemisphere allowing the greatest entry of light and heat, and the second, is to obtain a better view of the lake. The terrace projects to the south to contemplate the lake and protect itself from the summer sun. The main space, composed of the dining room, living room, and kitchen, is positioned in an east-west direction, in this way it manages to have a view of the lake and the forest. A double height is projected with a connection to the second floor, facilitating the interaction between the inhabitants.

Prazeres 37 House / Fragmentos

Joy Garden Courtyard / Morag Myerscough

Morag Myerscough’s first project at Sheffield Children’s Hospital - which saw four designs across forty-six en-suite bedrooms, secured her close connection and commitment to the hospital, its patients, and its staff and in-turn provided the initial inspiration for her most personal project to date, the Joy Garden.
