This house located at an extraordinary urban space is conceived as a “pavilion opened to landscape”.It´s back coincides with the access. It´s hermetic closed curved walls are inspired in the experience of walking by the Richard Serra sculpture of the Bilbao´s Guggenheim with my daughter, Clara.Curves are resolved as a double system of harmonic auras, which give form to “blow”.It´s a family house located at the bottom of The Manquehue mountain (tutelary mountain of Santiago).It doesn´t want to be brought up as a special or different architecture, but generating a whole façade with the neighboring house (my sister´s) designed by National Prize of Architecture Luis Izquierdo. Therefore, “Blow” adopts the Rollan Zegers house lines, generating the view of an open great territorial space.The interior is made by extreme subtracting, an open space with double circulation; one by the hermetic back and the other by the landscape in front, which makes that no enclosure touch the front windows.A dynamic space is created without hierarchies in it´s spaces. Inhabiting is given as a continuous flow between interior and exterior, horizontal and vertical, making it´s 1200 square meters infinite and multiple.The roof is conceived as a fifth façade becoming an observation deck plenty of flowers which also helps the thermic efficiency of the house.The garden concept is inspired as an urban agricultural space with gardened curved terraces dialoguing with the access walls along the 25meters long swimming pool.The interior design is conceived from the sculpture concept, creating a dialogue between architecture and sculpture.Categoría: vivenda uni-familiar Nombre de la obra: Casa Soplo Arquitecto: Cazu Zegers G.Colaborador: Grupo Aira (Francisco Garcia Huidobro)Ubicación: Camino Punta de Aguilas interior 4153, Santiago- ChileCliente: Inmobiliaria Casa AiraAño de proyecto: 2006 - 2010Año de construcción: 2010-2011Superficie del terreno: 1460 m2Superficie construida: 280 m2Construcción:Obra Gruesa: Constructora Almar (Francisco Alvarez) Terminaciones: Victor Valladares, Vasco Cuevas Cálculo Estructural: OPH (Oscar Paredes)Inspección Técnica: Eduardo CortezIngeniería Eléctrica: Sergio Alemparte Ingeniería Sanitaria: Simona Simonatti Eficiencia Térmica: Pablo Sills Climatización: Carlos Alberto Infante Iluminación: Paulina Sir, Gaspar Arenas Paisajismo: Teresa Moller y asociadosEstructura: Hormigón armado visto arquitectónicoCubiertas: Hormigón armado visto arquitectónico , membrana Firestone- ICAM, terminación final techo jardín y deck AbetoCanadiense CLCMuros: Hormigón armado visto arquitectónicoVentanas: aluminion pintado y termopanel TECMATerminaciones Pavimentos: Entablado de mármol travertino sin pulir Terminaciones Cielos: hormigón armado visto arquitectónico con moldaje de tabla Pinturas Especiales:Revestimientos y Mobiliario: chapa encina y maderas rústicas Fernanda PerelloMobiliario Incorporado: Orlando Gatica, Luis LopezPiscina: Favertec, Carlos Vargas
