Sumit Singhal
Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Pelicano House in Cariló, Argentina by Estudio Galera ArquitecturaMay 30th, 2015 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Estudio Galera Arquitectura The project was designed around a specific design problem: to satisfy functional, aesthetic, and semantic needs. The house, situated on a 1032 m2 corner lot in the city of Cariló, is lifted above the natural terrain level due to the low height of the terrain and the area’s restrictions on modifying the natural topography. This creates an indirect link -visual rather than functional- between the house and the lot.

These wagons, which are placed in an L shape and are separated by half a level, open to the garden at the front façade as it engages the street. The hierarchical access created by the house height and the various entrances of sunlight become the link between the different architectural volumes. This disposition offers flexibility of use to the residents of the house and protects their privacy.

Oblique pergolas, roof fenestrations, ground level windows, bars of acrylic in concrete walls, repetitive columns which protect the kitchen, and the rhythmic brisolei which gives privacy to the bathrooms create daily games of sun and shades.

At the same time, the predominance of concrete generates a visual unity amongst the blocks, stone, and timber, granting a natural touch of warmth and ruggedness. The house is an articulated and dynamic composition that plays with axis, scheme, skew, and rhythm.
