 PLAN SITE PLAN

• A volume of simple and emphatic architecture, which reinterprets the anonymous architecture of the
coastal valleys in the center of Chile. It poses itself above the soft tree-lined areas, peeking gently with its
facades of wood and tones that highlight the luminosity of the place. The body melts down as one with
the geography and projects the lines of trees upon his facades. Employs sustainable technologies, creating
a favorable mood for work and the production of quality olive oil.

• ECOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
• Geothermic instead of central heating and air conditioning for the production areas and the oil barrels area, ventilated façades system
in the building, passive energies to allow air to come into and go out the different areas of the offices and services (cross ventilation in
the ceiling). Evaporation from the water mirror located in the front of the office building and cone studies of shade and sun direction to
determine the eaves necessary for the different seasons. The main building uses natural cenital light instead of artificial lighting.
• as an architecture studio we don’t understand sustainability as a theory but as something concrete. We research into this concept and
the most important is that we apply it.
The illumination of its facades and office areas
(transparent) comes alive with its shades between lights
and sounds that seem to rise in the surrounding soft
wooded hillock and the geography of the place. The
architecture of this longitudinal building is terraced in
different levels to take up the slopes.
