Felipe Assadi Architects built the ‘Awasi Patagonia’ resort perched on the hillside of a private reserve and directly overlooking the idyllic Torres del Paine mountains and Lake Sarmiento in Chile. The getaway features twelve lodges which have been carefully organized and distributed on the grounds of the site to ensure privacy for the guests, and at the same time, frame sweeping views. The design of the rectangular volumes were influenced by traditional Patagonia shelters and ranching outposts which naturally blend with its surroundings.
