*콘크리트를 만나다 [ LCLA ] El Retiro

LCLA-El Retiro
자연과 동화되는 방법에는 여러가지가 있다. 그중에서 가장 적극적인 방법은 자연 속으로 사라지는 것이다. 오늘 만나는 하우스는 가장 인공적인 재료 중 하나인, 콘크리트를 이용하여 구축되고 마감된 건축물이다. 하지만, 가장 낮은 자세로 자연과 만난다. 오로지, 콘크리트를 이용할 뿐이다. 그리고 거추장스러운 장면과 모습을 다 걷어낸다. 공간과 자연을 그대로 연결함으로써 건축본연의 모습을 구현한다.

El Retiro is a minimal house located in Retiro, Colombia, designed by LCLA with Clara Arango. Rather than proposing a single larger house, four volumes are positioned in the steep slope, each one situated and structured in a unique way in relation to the topographic features of the beautiful site. Each structure is clearly different, yet they all share concrete formwork and custom made stainless steel details. One house stands 4 meters over the terrain on a single column, while the long partially sunken house is defined by a retention wall. Stainless steel details, windows and formwork are the same, thus both experiences differ in the way that the structural solutions create two different climates and relationships with the slope, one closer to the ground and the other elevated and more open. The gardens link both houses, and the same details and materials in outdoor areas are used inside, an experiment in making them feel larger as one is just 60 sqm and the other 75.
