Earth Box

A rammed-earth and glass construction surrounds two trees for a Paraguan architecture studio
흙, 나무, 유리로 두 나무를 감싸 지은 파라과이 건축 스튜디오

Equipo de arquitectura | 이큅포 데 아르끼떽뚜라

“The sun never knew how great it was until it hit the side of a building” – Louis Kahn

Dreams + Necessity + Available resources = Project
To solve the basic equation of making dreams a reality within a limited budget, architecture practice equipo de arquitectura (based in Asunción, Paraguay) initiated the construction of their new architecture studio taking an experimental approach. The process began by taking certain key materials – such as earth, wood and glass – and transforming and configuring them around two existing trees: a flame tree, that stays outside but framed, and a guavirá tree, that stands in the middle of the space, sharing the employees’ company.

“태양이 건물을 비출 때 비로소 건축의 진가가 드러난다.”- 루이스 칸

파라과이 수도 아순시온에 두 건축가의 취향을 살린 건축 스튜디오가 들어섰다. 의뢰인이자 건축가는 한정된 예산 안에서 자신이 꿈꾸던 건축사무소를 이뤄냈다.
건축가는 이곳을 두고 “빛이 시간을 빚고, 중력이 공간을 빚는다면, 이곳 분위기는 재즈 소리와 향초 냄새, 그리고 신선한 커피의 맛이 만나 완성된다.”고 설명한다.

Project: Earth Box / Location: Asunción, Paraguay / Architects: Equipo de Arquitectura – Horacio Cherniavsky + Viviana Pozzoli / Rammed earth consultant: Yago García-Enríquez / Rammed earth construction: Nelson Pérez, Rodney, Casildo, Raúl and Diego / Blacksmith: Javier Gimenez / Concrete: Gerardo Pérez / Carpenter: Marcial Careaga / Structural engineer: Emilio Richer / Completion: 2018 / Photograph: Federico Cairoli, Leonardo Mendez, Lauro Rocha, Courtesy of the architect

Only 20cm of the 30cm-thick rammed earth walls hold the weight of the roof, exploiting the structural qualities of this material, while the remainder borders the cement floor slab, which it conceals.
The external rammed earth wall wraps the basic square plan entirely; it retracts at the point of the office’s main entrance. In so doing it bends around a little restroom. The towering, pre-existing guavirà tree is situated within a patio dividing the work-spaces from the kitchen, all the while blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior.

흙, 나무, 유리 등의 재료 선정을 우선으로 하고, 부지에 있던 두 나무를 중심으로 그 재료들을 사용해 건물을 만들어 나갔다. 정사각형 건물은 주 출입구에서 안으로 꺾이고, 실내 역시 화장실에서 같은 방식으로 벽이 감긴다.
건물 바깥에 있는 벽오동나무는 유리창 액자에 걸린 그림 같은 모습이다. 구아비라 나무는 사무실 가운데에 서서 주방과 업무 공간을 나누는 한편, 내부와 외부 경계를 지운다.

All furniture and doors are made of recycled wood, which is used throughout the office. On the interior, the library detaches from the walls in order for the light, which enters through a vast glass skylight, to continue its path. The studio’s most valuable ‘treasures’ – its collection of books and paintings – are housed in a suspended library system.
In this project, where client and architect are one and the same, the design choices are highly personal. The architects, Horacio Cherniavsky and Viviana Pozzoli, have created their own ideal environment. In their own words: “if light builds time, and gravity builds space, the atmosphere of Earthbox is built with the sound of jazz, the smell of incense and the flavor of fresh coffee.”

거푸집에 시멘트 대신 흙을 부어 만든 벽체는 재료의 구조적 속성을 감안했다. 30cm 벽 두께 중 20cm 부분은 지붕 무게를 지탱하고, 나머지는 시멘트 슬라브와 보이지 않게 맞닿는다.
모든 가구와 문짝은 재활용 목재를 썼다. 천장에 매달린 책장은 벽에서 살짝 띄워져 있어, 큰 창을 통해 들어온 빛은 공간 깊숙이까지 닿는다.
