PROJECT NOTE

The project was born from the existing design of an Arauco company camp with a total of approximately 2,690 m2 of design, which currently does not have recreation areas and green areas.

It is proposed to create a low-maintenance garden and spe cies that enhance the arrival of pollinators in order to deliver color through flowering and movement to the garden.

The infrastructure of the project includes two pergolas, paths and containment for the vegetal layers.

Through the projection of two pergolas that work for various activities carried out by campers.

Through various zoning, it seeks to achieve a programmatic and visual connection of all spaces. This unification is also enhanced by hard pavements.

The design proposes low maintenance, low water consump tion, a sustainable garden, restoring soil ecosystems and the biodiversity of plants and providing the user with areas for entertainment, meeting and sports to promote rest and lower the stress level of each one of them.

LANDSCAPING

Regarding the vegetable palette, the aim is to work with preferably native trees and some medium-height exotic ones to generate an important green cover within the camp, since it currently does not have green areas and the direct sun in summer does not allow users to congregate.

With respect to the Biodiverse Garden, we work with highly flowering species of medium height to generate color within the outer perimeter of the existing cabins.

The two projected roofs will be made of a light wood structure that will resist the weight of climbers to cover them naturally.

By linking all the cabins as a nerve center, an amphitheater is created to genera te multipurpose recreation areas, which are then connected through the gar dens and an extension of the roof which corresponds to the space for exerci sing.

With regard to landscaping, spaces with various functions are created, such as a copse to generate a predominant shadow within the area, a biodiverse garden around the perimeter to generate color, aroma and attract pollinators. Both roofs will be covered by vines to provide shade to the sectors and activi ties can be carried out.

Greenhouses are also projected in each cabin so that users can work with medi cinal plants for their own use.

PROJECT NOTE

The garden at the Machicura Hydroelectric Plant was born from the client's concern to have less water consumption in the company's exis ting gardens. With an area of 14,226 m2, the project begins with the action of lifting all the existing vegetation and extracting the minimum possible species, especially the smaller species that cannot resist the little irrigation. Then completely remove the grass.

It works mostly with hard covers to completely unify the existing trays and placing bushes at different points to generate color and movement in the garden. In some smaller trees, pits are created so that they can better store rainwater.

The use of rocks and stones also helps to generate more movement in the garden and you mark interior paths.

To carry out the project, all the existing vegetation of almost 2 hectares had to be lifted. In it, the species were identi fied by size, botanical family, state and flowering.After the survey, the species that best withstand water stress were identified, and thus know which ones to keep and which ones to extract in the project.

When all the species were identified, a detailed botanical glossary was made with all the plants and trees found in the place. This input is important so that in the future there is a registry of all the vegetation and the landscaping project can be modified.

By completely removing the lawn from the garden, we work with various covers and stone elements to give move ment and dynamism to the garden, using organic forms.

Within these forms, low shrubby vegetation is erected to generate color within the existing trays. The projected ve getation corresponds to herbaceous and low-maintenance shrubs that better resist water stress.

PROJECT NOTE

The project was born based on the needs of a family made up of a married couple and a son.

A residential garden was requested with borders of vegetation to add color, a plat form to carry out various activities such as Yoga, an orchard area and useful square meters of lawn for children's games and recreation.

At the bottom of the garden a perimeter planter is projected which will be covered by plant cover.

ting vegetation on the plot. Which as important points has a circle of Cherry Blossoms, and in the corners large trees such as Coihue and Oak.

Based on also understanding the use that its inhabitants have, a very sen sory linear garden is created, which contains highly flowering species and creates two important points, the floral circle and a water pond.

The interior garden of the cherry trees, corresponds to a platform to carry out various activities outside, feeling the aroma, colors and movement of the garden.

Zona Vegetación Sendero

BLOOM

By having many species with showy flowering, it seeks to generate changes in the garden as the season changes. With a diverse color palette that also seeks to call pollina tors at different times of the year. The beds are grouped by plant categories to generate lower and smaller volu mes in a more wild way.

One of the main characteristics of the project is the play with the different colors and movements of the garden, generating mi cro-spaces within the entire Plot.Under the Cherry trees is intended to create this most intimate space where various activities can be carried out such as reading, contemplation, stay, eat. The circle will be of a different tone than pink, because we seek to contrast with the flowering of that color palette.

The garden proposes a route through the projected vegetation that begins on the circle of Cherry trees and the pond area. Connect the inhabitants with the sounds, sights, smells, colors and textures of the proposed vegetation.

Operation: the matter that is above

With this simple idea, that all the suspended material passes downwards, the private nature of the house becomes public. By fol ding the walls forward, we immediately ma naged to create a 360-degree relationship with the landscape, in addition to clearing the exis ting socket. Under this action of knocking down, the complete dismantling of the house begins in order to achieve this concept of a square.

It begins with the dismantling of the roof, with its respective structure and accumulation of its entire structure, continuing with the lowering of all the perimeter walls. Finally, the interior walls are cut to 60 cm and the old layout of the house is maintained in order to function as the furniture of the square.

PROJECT NOTE

'From the House to the Square' was born as a response to an investigation around recognized landmarks in the Melozal Valley, corresponding to the commune of San Javier, Maule Region, Chile. In the project, the architect Fabián Montecinos has dismantled an old deteriorating house -an arrival mi lestone for a site of tourist interest- to reuse its characteristic materials and build a new public access space for the place.

La 'Cueva del León' corresponde a un pequeño villorrio emplazado en el Valle de Melozal, séptima región del Maule, Chile. Es una formación de rocas gigantes en la cual alberga en su interior una cueva. Esta se ha transformado en un punto de interés para los turistas y mismos habitantes de la zona. Con un paisaje armonioso y oculto, los habitantes han trans formado el hito en un espacio público informal.

En el punto de llegada la esta cueva, existe una vieja casa de adobe en estado de Ruina. La casa de 84 m2, construida en adobe y suspendida mediante un radier de hormigón de 80 cm de altura, forma parte y es referente del lugar.

PROJECT NOTE

The cave of the lion is a very hidden place, which is made up of giant rocks that seem foreign to the place. Many geologists and miners have investigated the rocks due to their strange size and loca tion.

In addition to this strangeness, the rocks have contained the legend of the Lion for a lifetime, who lived inside the rocks and roared from time to time. That noise was heard by the inhabitants and from there the name of the sector is born. All these legends and popularity have made it an attrac tion for sporadic tourists to the place. On the other hand, the residents see this as an opportunity so that the town does not die.

The program of the project corresponds to a garden under the trees of the place which is contained by existing rocks. In it, travelers to this recognized landmark of the territory can rest and shelter. Trying to touch the place as little as possible, only simple elements are used for its execution. Like an old oak beam for furniture, clean-in-place, moisture-resistant coverings, and make a good escar pment.
