As alluded to, the quincho is
an enclosure designed deliberately with the sun, with nature.
When the pool would be used most - in the afternoon hours
- the sun reflects from the water to the ceiling. At other
times, the sun enters through gaps in the porous wood walls,
creating shadows across the wood floor. A space behind the
table that's enclosed on four sides allows releif from the
sun. But the majority of the space is left open under the
roof, between the table and hearth, relating the timeless
and communal act of preparing and eating food to its origins. |
