Introduction:
The building is located on the mountain slope, with a privileged location that offers impressive views of the Beagle Channel on its south facade. This orientation allows for natural light and a maritime landscape, while the north facade faces the Yatana Ecological Reserve, a protected area of forests that offers a serene natural environment. The location on the mountain slope provides a sense of elevation and dominance of the landscape, while the proximity to the channel and the ecological reserve offers a direct connection with nature. The building is located at a strategic point, where architecture and natural environment blend to create a unique and attractive space.
Objective:
The objective of this project is to design a sustainable and multifunctional building, with a metal structure, that minimizes its environmental impact and maximizes its energy efficiency by taking advantage of the building's orientation to optimize natural light capture and reduce thermal load through the design of a double facade.
Building Description:
The building is located on a rectangular plot, with a north-south orientation. The main facade faces north, while the rear facade faces south. Considering the location and climate of Ushuaia, the building was designed with a double facade to adapt to local conditions.
The sustainable building with a double facade is an example of how architecture can respond to current environmental challenges. Careful orientation and incorporation of sustainable systems make this building a model of energy efficiency and sustainability."
