Article source: Escribano + Bourquin From the architect. Located in one of the most recent private developments on the outskirts of the city of Santa Fe (Argentina), the house is designed entirely on one floor, it consists of 2 separate elements linked together by the access circulation.

It is basically a prism which houses the living program with a hall, living – dining room (with area for alternative uses: home cinema, study, extra bedroom or games). Master bedroom suite, 2 secondary bedrooms, kitchen-dining room, bathroom core, and gallery with BBQ, storage and laundry.

Everything is framed in a continuous ribbon in a “C” shape that ties all the compositional elements and is separated from the ground emphasizing its geometric character.

Image Courtesy © Federico Cairoli The basic concept of Ribera 1 House is simplicity and transparency, the challenge resided in transforming an economic and traditional construction technology to materialize the conceptual precepts that served as a starting point in the project.
