Color in Henri Matisse’s The Red Room pervades the entire work—a patterned tablecloth that rises, folds, and transforms into the wall itself. The only break in the palette is the background landscape: an intense, contrasting green. The architectural project shares with The Red Room both its name and this same expressive dialogue with its surroundings.
The construction relies on a dry-assembled, prefabricated system. A primary steel grid structures the entire project, defining its form and overall architectural expression. Enclosures are built using sheet metal, translucent polycarbonate, and glass, creating varying degrees of opacity and light filtration.
The design relies on a restrained material palette and precise details to amplify site insertion and conceptual clarity. A carefully planned native grass park creates a diffuse border between the immediate surroundings and the project, serving as an open venue for play and community gathering.
A red trail winds through and invades the plot, weaving the entire project together. Much like Matisse’s canvas, this bold feature defines the movement and spatial continuity across the site while setting up a vibrant contrast with the natural surroundings.
Conceived as a spatial amplifier and lookout point over Parque Miramar. Wood is introduced to bring warmth and texture, featured both along the circulation walkway flooring and within the ceiling of La Corneta to balance the metallic framework.
A soft, natural edge between the site and its context. This landscape layer acts as an interactive threshold where the architectural geometry meets the surrounding environment, offering flexible outdoor spaces for play and gathering.
