Country Club Villa Mixed Function Building

LIMA, PERU

Contest 2022

Mixed used: saunas, restroom, gym, restaurant. Team: Diego Zambrano, Axel Algarate, Bryan Gonzales

The new building works as an assemblage of correlated volumes hosting interiority experiences and visual connections to the landscape and the ocean. Being an extension project, ,this volumetric approach aimed to organize flows in the lower level, and integrate views in the upper one: volumes order programs along the assigned plot and act as a continuation of the existing buildings.

Three cubes conform the building lower level and serve as base for a large longitudinal volume on top. Each cube contains changing rooms, sauna and restaurant kitchen, acknowledging the circulation paths around and between the pool and tennis courts. The larger volume on top contains the gym and restaurant, prioritizing an interstitial corridor towards the pool and using the block’s ending as a food and gathering place.
