Backyard pavilion for a Beach House Chile (1)

This backyard pavilion was completed by Chilean-studio PAR Arquitectos in 2015.

Description by PAR Arquitectos: The requirement called for an isolated and open construction, next to an existing swimming pool, at the end of a beach house garden that solved four needs: a barbecue/terrace space, a kitchen, a warehouse, a bathroom with a dressing room and a shower. Support was needed to link and attach several new inside activities and preexisting instances that surround the project.

The dining and living rooms are supported by a ribbon slab that compose the fireplace, grill and a in build bench. As a support and backing of this, a 10 meter long naked concrete wall as a screen separate at one side the kitchen and warehouse, and in the other the bathroom / dressing room. Two sliding doors give the option of closing both enclosures. In response to the shady south west orientation, transparencies are integrally worked with skylights and blinds in search of natural light and ventilation as needed in the daily uses of the different spaces.
