guimpert atelier architecture designs wood-clad ‘G+D house’
‘G+D House’ takes shape as a summer residence in the coastal region of Huentelauquen, Canela, Chile. Completed by Guimpert Atelier Architecture, the wooden and stilted building stretches out dramatically across the arid landscape where harsh solar radiation and strong winds reign. The project seeks to transform these conditions into its main design element to provide a passive solution. ‘To achieve this, a wooden skin is created flowing over the façades, which manages the solar radiation that affects them during the day. This also helps to control the wind in the orientations where it is facing, providing, in return, greater privacycontrol,‘ explains lead architect Eduardo Guimpert.

During the process, one particular challenge arose: dissipating the strong winds while framing a view towards the south. Solving this issue required using a transformable wooden skin as the main structural material, treated via software to create perfect cuts, minimize construction time, and reduce material loss and waste to a minimum. More specifically, the architect installed wooden blocks and mobile panels to control wind and sun exposure as well as offer residents dynamic spaces throughout.

Beyond controlling the indoor climate of ‘G+D House’, Eduardo Guimpert wanted to reflect the client’s lifestyle by having a main open area where everyone could gather; this space combines a living room, dining, kitchen, and terrace, dominating both the south valley and ocean view. Meanwhile, buffer zones separate the sleeping area from the rest of the residence to control sound and temperature.
