In the mountainous region of Patagonia, Chile, a structure can be seen rising from the greenery and the granite mountains that surrounds it. The Architects have used the surrounding forceful elements as inspiration to create the Aonni Mineral Water Plant. By expressing the energy of erosions, tectonic plates, water and wind, the project have exposed the interactions of natural environment forces which are prevalent characteristics of this territory.
Bebin & Saxton have incorporated sustainable design principles as natural lighting, high internal gains and a good daylight factor within the project. Also, a sensitive choice of materials (resistant, flexible, economical and low maintenance) that could cope with extreme climatic fluctuations is used to reflect Punta Arenas, XII Region, Chile.
