The city of Santiago, Chile is surrounded by natural beauty, but it?s also becoming a hotbed of modern architecture that boldly contrasts against, yet works with, its surroundings. One design that achieves this perfectly is the new Club de la Union in Santiago.
Not only did A4 Arquitectos have to create a setting that worked well with the city?s overall landscape, but there was an important social goal as well: to respect the long-established nature of the private social club, a respected institution in Chile, while also fitting with the club's location in the prestigious Edificio Golf 2001 building -- a gleaming glass-and-steel model of contemporary, austere architecture.
Working with architect Borja Huidobro, A4 Arquitectos created a solution that relies on the most elemental features -- exquisite materials and forms -- rather than visual clutter, to create an evocative feeling that reflects history while looking forward at the same time.
