Excerpt: Obra Luyaba is a residence designed by the architectural firm Barrionuevo Villanueva Arquitectos. The project defines the need to generate shelter and works on the construction logic that rethinks the economy, resources, human needs, and contained space. The work support inhabitation and contemplation, and the compositional synthesis had to be total. The structure supports the loads, defines the space, uses and material expression, in collaboration with the wooden sieves, condition and intend the sunlight and the visuals.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by Architect] The site’s value is nature, which has been the leading role since the abandoned asphalted road. The work is becoming present between the winding of the street, the mountain topography, and the vegetation. And as these factors allow it progressively, it begins to be discovered.
Once there, the work takes the scene’s prominence for a moment, immediately returning it. You can’t compete with that environment. There, the work is transformed into an observation deck that solemnizes the breathtaking landscape and wildlife views.
The project defines the need to generate shelter and works on the construction logic that rethinks the economy, resources, human needs, and contained space.
The work support inhabitation and contemplation, and the compositional synthesis had to be total. The structure supports the loads, defines the space, uses and material expression, in collaboration with the wooden sieves, condition and intend the sunlight and the visuals.
The definition of these factors is essentially defined by the beams that by location and direction determine areas of circulation and permanence in the plan as well as the purpose of public space and another private, intersecting. The result is a courtyard node between the public/private horizontally and the access and terrace/pool vertical.
All these variables of use and space make it possible to inhabit to provide a gradual revelation of architecture, giving frame and accent to the landscape.
