The design approach for this project is inspired by the concept of a notebook, with the building’s form evoking the image of a closed book. This design philosophy is reflected in the building’s shape and its singular, cohesive path throughout the layout.

The design incorporates straight hallways that mirror both the left and right sides of the building, providing a clear and intuitive layout for customers. This configuration not only enhances the visual clarity but also ensures that safety measures are effectively integrated. The straightforward design of the hallways facilitates easy access to emergency exits for both staff and customers in case of an emergency. The upper floor is dedicated to a large office environment, starting with a reception area highlighted by a moonshaped desk that creates a welcoming atmosphere. Adjacent to the reception on the left is a kitchen and lunchroom, while on the right, a waiting room for clients is situated. The design also features long rectangular potted plants along each side of the building core, adding a touch of greenery. The symmetrical arrangement of cubical spaces enclosed by glass walls contributes to a modern aesthetic, complemented by the thoughtfully designed office rooms and conference areas.

THE BARN RIDGE
In Puerto Varas, Chile A new way to traditional barn-house which is one of the most common exercises in contemporary architecture practice, and even one of the most applied in the south of Chile. The order: A family house in an agro-residential field near route 5, with two floors, a terrace, and a garage. The approach: a volume of approximately 120 inside square meters, which is a reinterpreted barn-house where the central ridge is not parallel to the longitudinal walls of the house, so it moves from one of the northern corners to the opposite southern corner. The service area and the garage are in a separate light and clear volume so it has no continuity with the home. Due to its symmetry on the floor, it forms the classic barn-house in the center of the place, where the ridge is even for both sides, but this situation only can be seen inside the house or in the planimetry.
