In addition to the home’s sustainable design features, Residence G offers to the home buying audience a production home that matches the presence of custom luxury estates, and does so at a record setting, low construction cost—approximately one-fourth the cost per square foot of the high end residences seem throughout Southern California. Clarity and precision, Minimal lines, walls of glass, measured proportions, and Cubist massing deliver iconic architecture negate the predictable Taco-Bell-style or Mid-Century Modern-influenced tract homes prevalent in the area. In the past few years, Residence G and similar other designs by this architect have been built and sold, totaling over 200 completed homes in Palm Springs under the thesis of “Modern for the Masses.” The agenda has ignited an entirely new movement of architecture and demographics in the region.

The house is built around a void between volumes generated to force access to the house through a pedestrian path. By doing this, we create an open sky tour that prolongs the time and distance to get to the semi-covered gallery.
The project is located in Mar del Plata, Argentina. This house responds to the requirements of a young family, who prioritizes the privacy and the relationship with the green areas.
