Planta primer piso / 1 st floor plan
corte a-a / section a-a
This house was commissioned in 1965 by the widow Ada Goycolea Zerbi, Chilean aviation pioneer, and is located on a 100-hectare site that was part of the former estate of Santa Maria Manquehue of Las Condes, today in the Vitacura district. It is a single-family home with a complete program that originally included four bedroom suites, study, living room, dining room, kitchen and three bedrooms for the service. The development of the functional program proposes private areas for the family, which are placed under the roof-tile shaped cover. The main entrance is on the south side (framed by two smaller volumes with the service areas) through a hallway containing a courtyard, allowing natural light into the living room and dining room, separated and hierarchized by the use of different levels. The bedrooms are linked by a circulation axis crosswise to the main access. This axis is illuminated with natural light from the south and ends in the courtyard linking the bedroom area with the public program of the house. The service areas and parking are outside the roof cover, with separate entrances maintaining the privacy of their respective uses. The main reinforced concrete structure uses 12 freestanding pillars and a roof in the shape of an inverted roof tile, allowing the development of an open floor plan, along with an enclosure of glazed structures, providing visual continuity between the interior and the surrounding landscape, always accompanied by the eave that extends beyond the pillars’ axis. The language of the project is based on exposed concrete as a structural element (Brutalism), revealing the construction process and the wooden formwork used.
