An Dearadh

Maidir le Nadir Príomhfheidhm: Ionad Saoire

Is ionad saoire é Nadir atá suite laistigh de Ghaineamhlach Atacama, deartha mar ailtireacht a fheictear a bheith cairéalaithe as an tír-raon. Suíonn toirteanna ísle dronlíneacha go docht leis an gcarraig, ag cruthú lóistigh dhomhaine, clóis chosanta ón ngaoth agus tairseacha scáthaithe. Úsáidtear uisce mar scáthán fuaraithe, le báisíní seachtracha ag frithchaitheamh spéir an chumair agus linnte tumtha ag áitiú seomraí snoite. Múnlaítear na taobhanna istigh ag dromchlaí cloiche srathaithe agus oscailtí oculus a ligeann isteach solas an lae faoi smacht, ag laghdú na drithlise agus an teasa. Cuireann pailéad srianta de shaoirseacht dath gainimh, soilsiú agus troscán íosta béim ar dhídean agus ar radharc fairsing.

Taobh Thiar den Dearadh

Pacáiste Preasa

Creidiúintí, baill foirne agus sonraí teicniúla curtha ar fáil ag an dearthóir.

Airíonna Uathúla: A monolithic resort in Chile’s Atacama Desert, carved from stratified stone where architecture is defined by void rather than object. Thick, high thermal mass walls, shaded courtyards, and top lit oculi provide passive cooling and controlled daylight. Water elements temper the microclimate and enhance reflections, while a restrained stone and wood palette delivers timeless, durable luxury integrated with the canyon.
Toisí & Pacáistiú: The resort covers approximately 5,000 square meters and features an outdoor pool, 3 indoor pools, as well as a full wellness area with a Turkish bath, sauna, and relaxation area. The pools range in depth from 1 meter to 3 meters.
Clibeanna: Atacama Desert, desert resort, carved architecture, Nadir oasis, Nadir resort, design oasis, Nadir concept
Teicneolaíocht Táirgthe: Developed through iterative massing and void carving studies plan and section first, then 3D parametric modeling to control oculi, courtyard proportions and shadow lines. Material assembly logic is based on locally sourced stone or stone veneer on RC frame with high thermal mass, ventilated cavities, concealed linear LEDs, and waterproofed pool shells designed for low maintenance desert operation.
Dúshlán Deartha: The hardest part was balancing excavation with comfort and safety in an extreme desert: creating shaded, quiet interior oases without losing daylight, views, or a clear guest journey. Limited water, harsh sun, thermal swings and fragile geology pushed us to use the rock mass as a climate buffer, minimize exposed facades, and choreograph light wells and courtyards.
Taighde: design research and site study. Objectives: create a low glare, sheltered resort embedded in rock, with water as an oasis cue. Methodology: climate solar mapping, spatial sequencing, and iterative massing tests. Data Tools: sun path, wind data, 3D models
Inspioráid: Inspired by the Atacama’s stratified geology and pre Columbian desert settlements, the project treats architecture as a carved refuge space shaped by subtraction, shade, and silence. Research into thermal mass, controlled zenithal daylight, and evaporative microclimates informed courtyards, oculi, and water basins to create comfort with minimal mechanical demand.
Fad an Tionscadail: Nadir Resort is a hospitality concept developed from august 2025 to February 2026 for a site in the Atacama Desert, Chile. The proposal integrates architecture with existing rock formations by partial excavation, forming protected courtyards and interior pool spaces. The project was prepared as a design competition submission and visualised through iterative spatial and material studies.
Sreabhadh Oibríochta: Guests arrive from the open desert and slip into a cooler, carved threshold. A gentle descent leads through shaded passages where sound, texture and warm light guide the way. Skylights and cuts in the rock reveal a sequence of indoor outdoor oases: pools, lounges and quiet rooms. Movement shifts naturally from social spaces to private retreat, while the surrounding stone keeps the atmosphere calm and temperate.
