Matapiojo Lodge-Patagonia

Matapiojo Lodge, is a wonderful building developed for people who love to disconnect from the crowd urban life. It is located on the beautiful lands of Patagonia, next to the Futaleufú river.
Our client needed a space to lodge different customers that enjoyed nature and wished to catch and release trout, coming from all world to visit Patagonia. Therefore the project required to mix local architectural values with a concept for people with global lifestyles, that are looking for quiet in rural places around the world.
The project has a complex layout that contains four zones. The central zone is the ‘Living and the bar’ - this is a communal space, where the customers can meet and share a beer or rest after of long day of fishing.
The second zone looks at the ‘rooms’ and is where customers sleep and leave belongings. These are three rooms that we equipped with two beds and one toilet with a shower room.
The third zone we divided into two areas, the ‘kitchen and staff residency’, here the Lodge has the equipment to navigate the river and to explore nature through hiking.
The last zone is an outdoor area where the customers can meet up and has two big terraces. One has a balcony next to the common interior area, and from there you can reach the final terrace with a barbecue space and a fire pit zone, where you can sit and relax with a glass of beer and good music.
