Casa Aladino can be understood as the articulation between two architectures: Residential and utilitarian; contemporary and rural; contrast and mimesis.

The house is located in the south of Chile. The program is shared in equal halves between technical facilities of a private park and a home for Aladino, the park ranger. The triangular section, in juxtaposition to the wilderness, emphasizes the contrast between nature and man-made, and determines that the whole interior is circulated by a series of central doorways.

The interior spaces are differentiated between them by the combination of a limited color and texture palette. The materials that comprise the construction are dismembered one by one throughout the length of the house until revealing every element, joint and detail. In the exterior, a silent and monochrome facade, with practically no openings, reminds the original larch shake barns of the area.
