The assignment consisted of the design of an event center for 1,000 people located in Santiago de Chile. The ruins of an old 19th-century mansion are located on a small hill on the lot.
The site locates on a hill, 300m away from the shore. It has a clear view of the ocean and the wind flowing through the place all day long.
The 1.8-hectare site is a naturally formed terrace snuggled into the gentle north-sloping base of Queenstown Hill, overlooking the untamed Shotover River which disappears around the bend. The clients are staunch locals, having spent most of their life in a modest cottage on the same road. They have owned the site for twenty years; planting and tending to the now mature grapes on the terraces above the site. They sought a permanent home here, a home for a lifestyle of mature years in the country, making wine, and tinkering with old cars.
Isan people (Thai Northeast people) of Thailand have been living in harmony with forests, mountains, and rivers for a long period of time. Their lives and nature are intertwined and inseparable. Nature has the source of lives, cultures, and beliefs for these people, even though, during the cold war, the Northeast people were used as political manipulative tools by politicians and defamed as uncivilized and barbaric. Varee (River) Valley Restaurant was built on the base of the original restaurant cabin, in the middle of the exuberant forest, on the river side of the Northeast. The main idea of the design was to build a connection between humans and nature to create activities, foods, traditions, and beliefs of the Northeast people from past to present.
