MIRADOR LUNCH SHELTER

The project is located on the northern bank of the Lontué River. It is to function as a lunch room for seasonal workers engaged in pruning, picking, and harvesting. A fundamental premise of the project was to provide sufficient shelter to allow for some privacy and a restful place to eat. Familiar elements from the region were used as architectural solutions: stones taken from the river, wood from disposal bins, eucalyptus branches, mesh, and tensioned wire. The objective was a balance between the provisional nature and the visual command of the landscape.
