    Casa Quilla / RLL Estudio ArquitecturaSave this picture!HousesCahuil, ChileArchitects: RLL Estudio ArquitecturaAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:143 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 PhotographsPhotographs:Nico Saieh Lead Architect: Ral Lucero More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. Cahuil House is a project that combines design and functionality in a privileged natural environment. With a total area of 150 square meters, the house is built on concrete pillars and beams that existed at the time of the purchase of the land, which conditioned both the dimensions and the distribution of the space. This solid base made it possible to take advantage of the extraordinary views of the surrounding landscape, especially towards the Cahuil lagoon and the Pacific Ocean, key elements in the concept of the project.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!One of the most important aspects of the house is the use of panels (SIP), which are covered in brushed pine wood. This material not only provides warmth and a natural texture, but also establishes a visual dialogue with the surroundings, integrating the structure into the coastal landscape. The choice of wood seeks to reinforce the link between nature and architecture, generating a welcoming atmosphere within the home. The design of the house was conceived to maximize the relationship with the natural environment, placing special emphasis on capturing the views of the sea and the lagoon, and on taking advantage of the climatic conditions, such as the sea breeze. The wind becomes a tangible element within the living spaces, bringing freshness and dynamism to the everyday experience. An outstanding detail of the project is its habitable roof, which includes a simple bench of railroad ties. This decision allows the occupants not only to enjoy the views from a privileged height, but also to transform the roof into a functional and recreational area. The viewing platform reinforces the connection with the environment, offering an additional outdoor space where the landscape can be observed in 360 degrees. This habitable roof expands the functionality of the house, providing a place for contemplation and disconnection, while making the most of the beachfront location.Save this picture!Save this picture!In short, Casa Cahuil is a project that balances aesthetics and functionality, achieving harmonious integration with the natural environment. The use of local materials such as wood, adaptation to pre-existing conditions, and the creation of a habitable roof turn this home into a refuge that maximizes the sensorial and visual experience of the place.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officePublished on November 21, 2024Cite: "Casa Quilla / RLL Estudio Arquitectura" [Casa Quilla / RLL Estudio Arquitectura] 21 Nov 2024.

    Billboard Headquarters/ Branco del Ro, ArquitectosSave this picture! Frederico MartinhoOffices InteriorsTorre de Vilela, PortugalArchitects: Branco del Ro, ArquitectosAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:395 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2023 Lead Architects: Joo Branco e Paula del Rio More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. As the client, a billboard company, took over an old metal workshop for its new headquarters, all the workflow and organisation had to be adapted. This project followed that process, and evolved with it. A work in progress that comprised two phases, simultaneously and alternately developed: the revamp of the existing industrial warehouse and the construction of a new office space in a narrow vacant plot.Save this picture!As the process had to be integrated into the company's daily activities, the entire intervention was slowly built and assembled inside the facilities. As such, slow tempo and constant prototyping were part of the design and building process and led to a very delicate construction, carefully undertaken by two experienced locksmiths.Save this picture!Save this picture!In the existing industrial warehouse, small adaptations were made to fit the building for its new use. In the area previously occupied by the factory offices, new changing rooms, screwing room, and laser cutting machine room were introduced on the ground floor, while a kitchen dining area and production room were added on the upper floor. A new metal gallery extends the existing area, and a retractable railing allows for loading and unloading with a forklift. Both this structure and the interior partitions, furniture, and the door system that creates a new interior faade were either produced on-site or reused from existing parts.Save this picture!Regarding the new offices, the limitations of the available area led to a solution of an elongated building, adapted to the natural topography. Its total length, 3 x 50m, is interrupted by courtyards that introduce natural light and ventilation. These courtyards, along with the interior, form a single integrated space, functioning as outdoor interiors. Sliding windows were used to spatially connect the ensemble, and a continuous matte black finish was chosen for both to highlight the external light and the lushness of the vegetation.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The building was designed to be lightweight, efficient, and easy to assemble on-site. For this purpose, the structure, the large longitudinal shelving that spans the entire building, worktables, exterior facade, decks, and shading elements were built in the adjacent factory using metal components that can be handled by just two people. An assembly system was devised to fix the panels to the building structure without the need for glues or screws. From the ground up (excluding the windows), the entire building has been crafted on-site by just two pairs of hands. And looking ahead, it was designed to be easily dismantled and repurposed or recycled. The interior is dominated by wooden finishes: walls, ceiling, and tables are made of wood. The constant matte black appearance of the office hides diverse haptic qualities. Additionally, it functions as an acoustic and humidity regulator. Winter climate control is achieved with a wood stove in the centre of the space and with a radiant floor heating system that takes advantage of the concrete inertia. During the summer, the environment is controlled solely through shading and natural ventilation.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Torre de Vilela, PortugalLocation to be used only as a reference.
