DESCRIPTION

Pavilions nowadays are expanding our definition of architecture.
Wether because they condense a narrative, because they disrupt or because they contrast the state of things, they are the means that allow us to act from the edges: cultural instigators, spaces for speculation or, as in this case, for circular repair.

En el origen de este proyecto, en Cachipay, Cundinamarca, está el esqueleto de un antiguo galpón de guadua que se rehabilita para albergar nuevos usos culturales y comunitarios. Se trata de actuar desde el límite: reinyectar energía en lo que ya existe, habilitar lo posible desde las necesidades funcionales.

Sometimes, a small infrastructure is the most precise way of elevating great hosts. A minimal artifact to hold the experience and to amplify the gesture of those who inhabit it.

The thing, then, is how to assemble the parts and to enhance that purpose: receiving visitors with generosity, save levels without friction and occupy the edge of the mountain with the greatest lightness.

In two levels we seek to debug the idea of service as a form of architecture: coordinate with each other laterally to the house to provide what is necessary —dressing room, deposits, audiovisual, bathrooms, a great kitchen, a dining room and a staircase between canopies— parts that are ordered with no prevail.

This project was, for us, a small lesson on hospitality; a joy built on the mountain.

Thanks to Nelly, Juan E, and the entire family opening up their home and their confidence.

The foremen and the construction team, for their rigor and their affection.

Jimmy Palacio and the Yemail Architecture team, for holding on to every detail.
