Designed by the architect Ignacio Rojas Hirigoyen together with The Andes House, this project seeks to provide an affordable solution to the shortage of decent housing that affects Chile and Latin America, through a flexible modular construction system that is quickly and efficiently executed. With prefabricated parts that allow different configurations, the model can be expanded horizontally and vertically, accommodating other uses, and disassembled to be reused in a new location. This constructive solution includes recycled materials, taking advantage of their sincerity and aesthetic value in an austere architecture.

The house sits in a clear stretch between trees. It is built over posts that separate it almost a meter from the ground, allowing the flow of streams that run towards a lagoon in front of the main facade. Its triangular geometry, in this wilderness, stresses the contrast between nature and building.

The building’s program is shared in equal halves between the reception and storage area of a private park on one side; and the home for the park ranger, on the other. The project’s geometry determines that every space shall have an identical section and that the circulation will occur in the same manner: through a series of central doorways from one extreme to the other. The absence of a corridor eliminates hierarchical spaces and reveals every corner of the building as it is explored.
