Refugio Hachi is a project located in the rural area of the Villarrica commune in southern Chile. It is situated on a plot with abundant native forest and, with the aim of preserving the existing trees and making the most of the light and heat, it was decided to locate the project in the only available clearing. The client, a jeweler, wanted a refuge that not only served as her home, but also as a place to design and work. The design of this space had to meet the following requirements: thermal efficiency, comfort, spaciousness, illumination, and views of the native forest.
As it is a project of a few square meters, it was decided to design a single large space, dispensing with dividing walls and using level changes to mark the difference between areas. The project has three levels; it is accessed from the southeast, the lower level, where the laundry, loggia, and kitchen are located, and where the morning light enters. Then, climbing two steps, you reach the main area, where the living room is located, which advances towards the north seeking morning, midday, and afternoon light.
In this same area to the south is the workspace, thus receiving indirect light, ideal for this profession. Finally, at the third level, two more steps up, is the main room, the bathroom facing south, and a protected island bathtub inside. The latter is located in a volume that advances towards the northwest offering views of the native forest from all sides. The roof of the project transforms according to each space, generating large windows that seek sunlight and forest views.
