LLU House / Cazú Zegers

The project is proposed in the concept of a "Family Lodge", which aims to house a complete family of 4 generations, and friends. Located in the south of Chile, in the Region of Los Ríos, which is a very rainy place. From this rainy condition is born the poetic words that leads the concept of the architectural design. The first words are; "a mantle to protect from the rain", inspired by the precarious tents, which are made by the local lumberjacks, in the forest. With a nylon tensioned by threads, and sometimes with a central pillar to let the water run off the simple construction. The word “water" is the second poetic word that guides the design.  The geometrical composition of  the water molecule was studied. Thus the idea of  three connected elements joined under a great mantle, to create the necessary protecting for the rain.
