The plaza is located along a public avenue in Villa San Sebastián: an urban border dialoguing with a rural landscape. The project was designed to salvage something of what it had signified and to restore life to what might have been a patio in the shade of a tree. Wooden pallets made for a low-cost, easily-handled repetitive structural element. By grouping the pallets in vertical position an efficient constructive system was achieved, capable of defining a self-supporting volume, which makes it possible to enjoy views of the valley, feeling the breezes and listening to the leaves under the shade of a tree.
