The idea of designing a Project in the south of Chile led us to the image of the expansive roofs of the shearing sheds inherited from colonists. These rusty zinc structures, thanks to their prominence and roundness, construct a dialogue with the distant geography, with the ability to sustain an image, perhaps collective, between the history of our architectural heritage and the beauty of such coarse geography.
Thus, in our opinion, this relationship creates a characteristic heritage landscape.
From the idea or ability of these structures to make a new landscape evident, we posed as starting point (almost too hastily) a project that could embody this responsibility from a distance, avoiding an obvious configuration of a house, hotel or shearing shed. We moved toward the contemporary idea of an artifact with a clearly horizontal layout. A black roof large enough to attempt to create dialogue with the outlying geography, a new profile that like a plinth, serves as the base for the image of the three volcanoes.
