Paradinha - 11 cabins in the woods / SUMMARY
Considering the roughness and the remoteness of this plot it would be difficult (and extremely expensive) to assemble construction yards for a traditional building. Thus, in this case, resorting to prefabricated structures was not just a choice, but the only efficient option we had to simplify the building process within such conditions.

The desire to minimize soil consumption, prefabrication, sustainability, energy saving and the use of natural materials from renewable sources such as wood and cellulose are primary elements of the project.
Industrialized Building System / Ignacio Rojas Hirigoyen Architects & The Andeshouse
Designed and executed by architect Ignacio Rojas Hirigoyen with The Andeshouse design brand collaboration, this project aims to address the pressing issue of adequate housing lack in Chile and Latin America. It does so through an industrialized building system that is adaptable and efficient, providing a viable solution under the construction industry crisis after the pandemic.
Vale de Cambra (VDC) / SUMMARY
The requirements for this project were boldly defined from the beginning: the construction should be fast, cost effective and changeable over time, which prompted the studio to use prefabricated elements and to leave parts of the project undefined, assuming the immediacy, flexibility and resources optimization as core themes.
