Quincho SJ Concón

Scale is the first impression: a volume of considerable height and open floor plan where wood structures the entire ceiling — exposed beams among themselves — creating a warm and continuous rhythm that contrasts with concrete and stone walls. It is not merely a quincho, but an outdoor space with aspirations of permanence. A series of horizontal windows runs along the upper perimeter, precisely where the wall meets the roof. Through them enters the garden vegetation as a backdrop — without interrupting the space's protection, without enclosing the interior. Lighting is resolved through industrial rings and suspended concrete lamp fixtures that define zones without the need for partitions. Toward the swimming pool, the space opens completely. In winter, sliding panels close it entirely, transforming the quincho into an interior space habitable year-round.
