DRAA Adds Sharply Pointed Roofline To La Leonera Mountain Retreat

Views of the Andes are framed by the steeply pitched roof of this A-frame house, designed by Santiago studio DRAA for a Chilean ski resort (+ slideshow).

La Leonera Mountain Retreat was developed by Del Rio Arquitectos Asociados (DRAA) as a weekend residence for a couple who head to the village of Farellones for skiing in the winter and mountain biking in summertime.

Basing their layout on common pitched roof properties discovered throughout the mountain area, the architects designed a building that combines two distinctly separate geometric volumes – a solid rectangular base supporting a lighter triangular structure with a glazed facade.

“The roof itself stands for a quintessential A-frame residence, a classic in Chile,” architect Nicolas del Rio informed Dezeen. ”Even so we produced it pointier in search of a starker picture and a loftier feeling within.”

The A-frame structure is created from pine trusses covered by a sandwich panel of polyurethane with a zinc roof surface. Wooden buttresses interrupt the glazing to produce a visual connection with the neighbouring developing.

The rough finish of the reinforced concrete base aids to ground the creating in its earthy hillside site, whilst the structure over cantilevers out to improve the sense of lightness.

The cantilevered area shelters an entrance at the corner of the creating that leads into a porch on the reduce level.

At the rear of the property, the roof is raised above the ground to generate a gap beneath for storing logs.

The base degree accommodates a bedroom, a kitchenette and a space that can be utilised as a guest room.

A wooden staircase at the rear of the creating ascends to a living location dominated by the glazed facade that reaches up to the apex of the ceiling. Here, daybeds face out in excess of the landscape.

A doorway that projects out from the sloping roofline connects the residing area with an external courtyard at this upper degree. A bedroom and bathroom are positioned beneath the eaves at the rear of the house.

Nicolas del Rio previously operated a studio called dRN with architect Max Núñez. Their projects included a residence on a Chilean island with a weathered-steel roof.

La Leonera Mountain Retreat was developed by Del Rio Arquitectos Asociados (DRAA) as a weekend property for a couple who head to the village of Farellones for skiing in the winter and mountain biking in summer season.

Basing their design and style on typical pitched roof properties discovered all through the mountain area, the architects developed a developing that combines two distinctly separate geometric volumes – a solid rectangular base supporting a lighter triangular structure with a glazed facade.
