WHALE! Designs 50 m² "Pavilion for Good Sleep" in Chile, Completed 2023

Completed in 2023, the "Pavilion for Good Sleep" is a 50 m² house project by the architecture studio WHALE!, led by architects Branko Pavlovic and Luca Montanarella. The project was curated by Paula Pintos, with Paloma González credited as collaborator and Alex Gaete and Rodrigo Espinoza serving as builders. Photographs of the completed structure were taken by Felipe Fontecilla, and WoodArch is listed among the manufacturers whose products were used. According to the architects' own description, a pavilion intended for good sleep requires an eastern orientation so that occupants wake with the morning sun. The project is categorized as a house and was published on ArchDaily, where the original version is also available in Spanish. The scheme pairs a modest footprint — 50 m² — with a single guiding environmental principle, positioning solar orientation as the primary design generator rather than an afterthought. WHALE! is the architecture practice behind the work, with Pavlovic and Montanarella named as architects in charge.
