House and Workshop
R+K house is a project made for a family of 5 who receive a lot of guests in their residence.
Thinking of that the house has 3 rooms, one of them special for guests.
The swimming pool area is also an area designed to the family entertainment.
The house has a inner garden to create an intense relationship between the interior and exterior.
The family can appreciate a piece of garden even inside of house.
The goal in this project is creating a comfortable space using the shape to avoid direct sunlight. The building’s shape produces shadows to avoid glare directly from the sun to the main facade.
The two floors are connected by the coffee shop. It creates a dynamical area where people can have a seat, relax and choose a book while they take a coffee.
This is a high school and cultural center project which was designed thinking about how the building could fit in the landscape creating open plazas to the school community. The program includes classrooms, restrooms, administration rooms, small library, study room, computer lab and also a dining hall and kitchen. The U shape creates the possibility of 2 blocks becoming 1. So it is possible to connect the whole block and to create a plaza in the middle of the block. At sunny days people can enjoy and sit in the grass, talk with friends and also play sports during the free time.
The irregular form and facades are related with the concept of using creativity into the educational system. The form incentives people to investigate the building, to walk, to discover the space and to appropriate it.
This house is a kayak facility. A house for 12 people, 10 students and 2 teachers. The students learn how to build kayaks at the workshop. The kayaks they build will be sold at the retail store, and this way they can maintain the housing costs with the money from kayaks. But to sell kayaks the building must to attract people. The solution was an articulation in the heart of the building. A public space in the middle, a space for people see the river in front of the building and also relax, enjoy the view, or just trespass and have access to the trail. The open and public space in the building where people can stay or just pass. From the void they also have a view to the workshop. They can enjoy the great view, buy, use the space as a connection, buy a kayak or just pay for a ride.
