Emmanuel Banda Architect
Philosophy
I understand architecture as the materialization of the work of man in nature as well the responsability to dignify the space that we all share. I find my greatest inspiration and motivation in life itself. In my work I involve my knowledge, thoughts and feelings with the intention of creating dialogue and proposals searching to move beyond the conventional. I consider myself passionate by nature, and I try to make living architecture, looking to create feelings and sensations of intimacy for whoever uses the spaces. I believe that context is fundamental to the future of a space along with the history it represents.

The main materiales used n the cabain are plywood sheets, wood beams and local rocks. All these materiales are in harmony with the natural context and landscape. The main rock structure remains in good condition, but both interior and exterior finishes are damaged by time and climate. This cabain was originally built as a forestkeepers main cabain , but it was never finished and never inhabited for the last 30 years.

The project began as when we realize of the huge potential of a unused area inside the hotel, close to the marina facilities and with and incredible view. Always working with the main idea that proposal should be attractive, innovative and that enhace the area and not to impose over the natural landscape and the hotel design concept. Something particular of this project is that we start desinging the project without having meeting our client and its needs.

The main concept of the place is to offer to the visitors a nautic atmoshphere, mixed with mediterranian materiales suchs as rocks, coulored concrete and wood and sails for sun shading.The architectural design was made together with culinary concepts, the design influenced the food and vice versa.

The floor design was inspired by the concept of a boat deck, pouring individual concrete blocks with different proportions and cement types to get irrregular tones and looks, creating a multi tone surfaced floor.

The shading sails where designed and located according to the movement of the sun in order to create shade in the table areas. They were also attached to the palms to avoid ineccesary strucutural elemnts and to not contaminate the view.

The main idea originates in the Pacific Ocean and the rocky beaches of Ensenada. The design itself took us into the colors, refinements and textures found in the shore. It is inside of this fellings that we can have indirect sensations inside the restaurant. In the following images we can se how these concepts are reflected in the interior design, where each element represents textures and colors as seen in the natural enviorment.

The ceiling was designed as a gradient of colors and textures, ranging from rusty and dark from the floor and ending white and smooth on the ceiling, opening a large dome in the center of the area for natural light and sky contemplation.
The blue rusty plaster on the back represents the blue of the sea and gives a visual auction and a vivid background to the place, contrasted by the wood covered walls giving a feeling of being inside of a boat cabin.
Both the furniture and the floor represent the rocks, that is why we chose a grey-dark rough floor along with gray fabrics for the chair and bench.

FLOOR PLAN First floor
The design proposal consists in a two story house where the main idea of the distribution is to maintain the privacy of public, semipublic and private areas. The kitchen and TV room are, on request of the clients the most important rooms of the house and the heart of the household situated on the first floor.
FLOOR PLAN Second floor
In the search of integratating the interior spaces with the exterior, we placed large south oriented windows allowing natural light to come inside the house, as well as providing natural west ventilation. High ceilings where also used in order to soften the impact of a shifting cold/warm climate. The second floor contains a master bedroom designed with the idea of simplicity in terms of space and form. A multifunctional study which can easily be converted into a guestroom.

CASA LUNA Valle de Guadalupe, B.C. Mexico Located in the heart of Gudalaupe Valley in Ensenada Mexico, this 150m2 mediterranean cotagge will be used as a place to relax, enjoy and to be in touch with nature. A space that gives privacy and at the same time, the sensation of being outside while your are indoors.
There are many natural attributes in the area, such as good climate conditions, a good ground for growing, great views in all directions, etc. In summer time the climate is relatively warm, creating the need to use elements such as orientation of the house and passive shading in order to control the temperature inside the cottage.
FLOOR PLAN

The orientation of the cottage is defined based on two important factors, the strong cold air that flows from the south and the presence of best views on the north side. This orientation also gives the best privacy. On the South facade we blocked the sun with wood shades allowing natural light to enter and at the same time buffer the thermal sensation indoors.
