Andes山脉中为观鸟而设计的拱形石头旅馆—Las Pajareras
las pajareras: a vaulted stone hotel designed for birdwatching in ecuador's andes

Ecuadorian Andes山脉位于Napo省Papallacta的云雾林中，在其高处有一座旅馆，名为Guango。该项目建造于20世纪60年代，这50多年来，该建筑及其周边的300公顷土地都由当地的一个家庭在打理。该建筑的工程师兼发明家在设计过程中，使用当地石板，并结合当地特有的弯曲竹竿制成屋顶，最终设计出这座建筑与自然和谐相处的小屋。该发明家的兄弟在30年以后运用相同原理造就了一个更加可持续发展的房屋，该房屋有2层，墙体为石墙，屋顶结构为钢筋混凝土，该房屋于2001年成为了Guango旅馆的中心。

Las Pajareras项目由建筑师Ignacio muoz Bustamante和Javier Mera Luna合作设计完成，同时也标志着Guango旅馆新篇章的开始。该项目主要灵感来源于当地的石头，且最终建成的房屋更加符合可持续发展策略，使得建筑与自然环境能够和谐相处。

High in the Ecuadorian Andes, hidden amidst the cloud forest of Papallacta, Napo Province, lies Guango Lodge. For over fifty years, the surrounding 300 hectares have been lovingly conserved by the same family. The lodge itself began in the 1960s with the vision of engineer and inventor who constructed a prototype house using local flagstone and a unique curved bamboo cane vault system — an example to his resourcefulness and respect for the environment. Thirty years later, the inventor’s brother built a more permanent residence using similar principles. This two-story structure, with its river stone walls and reinforced concrete vault, became the heart of Guango Lodge in 2001.
The Las Pajareras project, by architects Ignacio Muñoz Bustamante and Javier Mera Luna, marks a new chapter for Guango Lodge. Drawing inspiration from the existing stone structures, the new hotel project incorporates sustainable practices and reflects a strong connection to the surrounding nature.

Guango旅馆中的Las Pajareras项目由3个建筑模块组成，每个模块都可灵活布局，且都设计有卧室、浴室以及门廊，在门廊中可以欣赏Papallacta河的美景。设计师还预留了公共活动区域、室外小型浴池以及更衣区域，方便以后扩建。在该项目设计过程中，因石油管道地役权的原因，建设用地被规划在峡谷周边的狭长地带，设计师为了使得建筑与自然环境相互融合，将建筑定位进行了偏移，使其更加巧妙地融入到自然环境中去。

在该项目的设计过程中，首先要考虑的是建筑的可持续发展性。因此，设计团队在建造材料上主选当地材料，还为建筑设计了一个废水处理厂。建筑采用了由农业废弃物制成的BIOM热隔音材料，利于环境保护。

Las Pajareras at Guango Lodge consists of three guest modules, each offering a flexible room layout, private bathroom, and a porch with stunning views of the Papallacta River. A future phase includes a communal area with a small outdoor hot pool and changing facilities. Due to an oil pipeline easement, construction was limited to a narrow strip of land along the ravine. The architects responded with a design that respects the surroundings. The three modules, with their slightly offset positioning, subtly integrate into the landscape.

Sustainability was a key consideration. The design team makes use of local materials and incorporates a wastewater treatment plant for the entire lodge. The innovative use of BIOM thermo-acoustic insulation, made from agricultural waste, further reduces the environmental footprint.

建筑师Ignacio muoz Bustamante和Javier Mera Luna设计的建筑结构较为独特，地基为混凝土地基，墙体是60cm厚的玄武岩石墙，该石墙有较强的结构完整性和隔热性，且在室内还可结合折叠家具和壁橱等功能性墙体。设计师还设计了一个U形钢筋混凝凝土通道，有着多种功能，如可收集雨水灌溉森林、清除平台上的树叶和碎片、充当拱形预制木桁架天花板等。建筑拱顶的材料为松木和胶合板，内置装饰胶合板，外镀黑色镀锌金属，形成独特的外观效果。

The construction system employed by architects Ignacio Muñoz Bustamante and Javier Mera Luna is a unique blend of materials. Cyclopean concrete foundations support 60 centimeter-thick basaltic stone walls. These walls not only provide structural integrity and thermal insulation but also cleverly house furniture like fold-away beds and closets. A U-shaped reinforced concrete channel crowns the walls, cantilevering over the river. This channel serves multiple purposes — channeling rainwater back into the forest, providing a platform for easy leaf and debris removal, and anchoring the prefabricated wooden trusses that form the vaulted ceilings. The vaults themselves are composed of pine wood and plywood arches, with a layer of decorative plywood on the inside and black galvanized metal along the exterior.
