The triangular pavilion, clad in burnt wood, displays its wooden furniture towards the forest in Ascochinga, Córdoba, Argentina.
The 36 square meter suite, named Pabellón Archipiélago Casas de Autor, was designed
by Alarcia Ferrer Arquitectura based in Córdoba to take advantage of the stunning views of the jungle.
The project was developed as part of the construction of 12 homes designed by 12 architectural studios,
which also included the construction of a bungalow in the Estancia La Paz jungle.
The project brief responded to the need to create display space for sale and to promote homes of character.
To achieve this, the studio designed a space derived from neutral conditions to serve as a venue
for presenting models and projects for the emerging development of designer homes that offer new ways of living in La Paz.
The flexible qualities of the space also allow for the potential for new uses in the future.
The project is located in a strategic location that responds to the traffic between the old city of Estancia La Paz,
which has now been converted into a hotel and bar, a golf course and a panoramic route around a lake.
According to the studio, the volume of the pavilion is drawn from the site conditions in which it allowed three entrances or openings to be created.
These openings act as hierarchical whorls rather than a main façade, resulting in their triangular geometry.
The main feature of the space
It can be opened or closed completely.
Thanks to a series of three 9-meter-high sliding walls that connect or separate it from the surrounding landscape,
To reshape the immediate environment according to the needs of the moment.
Sometimes it acts as a little anonymous space.
Other times, their sliding surfaces move and blend between the trees,
It invites one to traverse it in all directions, allowing sight to pass through and integrate with the surrounding environment.
Glass enclosures are hidden behind curtains when open or enhance the immediate surroundings by reflecting when closed.
Their quality as objects in the landscape, as points of reference and arrangement of the site,
can be traced back to Richard Serra’s sculptures such as “Sight Point” (1975) or “Spiral Jetty” (1970).
Finally, the logical dry-build structure of black-coated metal tubes provides the speed needed for an efficient building process.
In addition, the predominance of burnt wood cladding gives the building a distinctive colour,
texture and expression that blends perfectly with the surrounding nature.
The interior features stone floors and finely crafted woodwork, designed to house project models of the house.
For the rest of the items on the site. This attitude is only appreciated when the space remains open.
