This project is a tribute to the signs of love, a tribute to a ritual of meeting between the loved ones, a tribute to the song of lovers in the moonlight, a tribute to the poet in front of the balcony, only the serenade…
A romantic uneven experience that incorporates four elements in its composition: the declaration, the path, the room and the balcony, a pavilion that proposes a place, a viewpoint and a path. Transforming the vineyard into a place where wine and love mix as a pretext for a statement. The pavilion seeks to adapt and open to the vineyard, creating activities that are not only internal. The aim is to generate a sequence between the entrance and the balcony as an end point. The formal proposal offers connection with the environment and the uneven response encourages distant dialogue, creating the ideal environment for the serenade.
The room and the balcony:
The proposal combines two traditional elements and reconfigures them. It unites an intimate space and a space for delight and observation, which come together and transform into a unique space for the loved one waiting for the beginning of the poem.
The way:
A path that symbolizes the connection between loved ones, a line that never breaks and always unites them. It is a path that winds and takes the shape of the pavilion to unite both levels and a staircase to ascend to the most intimate space.
The declaration:
An initial space that becomes the poet’s stage, a place from where the songs will reach the loved one, is the beginning of the path and also the end for the loved one.
The history:
The origin lies in the ballads that lovers sang in front of their beloved’s windows at dusk, when something had not gone well in the relationship. A romantic tradition that is current and begins at the beginning of the 16th century!
Shape and structure:
The main structure is used to support the level intended for the room and the balcony at + 1.40 and 1.70 meters respectively. A metallic structural grid composed of 2*X 2” rectangular tubes is proposed. The enclosure will be supported with curved metal rails as a rail to align the 10 cm wide elements.
Shape and measurement:
The project consists of the curvature of a straight volume, whose height is 2.20 meters and has a longitudinal measurement of 14 meters and a lateral measurement of 2.3 meters. In this semicircular volume there are 3 heights: The lowest level at floor level, the second level, at +7.40 that of the room and 2 steps higher that of the balcony +1.70 meters.
