El Salvaje is located at km 427 of Provincial Route N° 11, 10 km south of Villa Gesell and only 3 km from Mar Azul forest. It is a development of maritime farms, environmentally sustainable both for its low population density and for the conditions established by its regulations in relation to the environmental care. The legislation determines that all developments must respect the topography, vegetation and wildlife of the area: a geography where the horizontality of the Pampean plain is cut by the presence of sandy ridges, fixed by grasslands, which run perpendicular to the coast until they disappear in huge beaches.
Casa Bombai is a rationalist project where concrete plays a transcendental role: not only visually, but also as a way to execute sophisticated geometries that allow the house to be delimited and expanded in its surroundings. The cantilever partitions give rise to this dichotomy present throughout the entire façade.
Bunker is located in the northern zone of Gran Buenos Aires, in a private urbanization with a consolidated and rhythmic fabric of two-story houses that surround a golf course and its lagoons. The house is implanted on a generously sized lot oriented towards the north at its back with close perspectives towards the course and long views of the surrounding vegetation.
The project is located in a suburban neighborhood in Mendoza province, Argentina. The program considers the design of two houses for two young sisters on a plot of irregular morphology.
The proposals had to be harmonious with each other, as well as unique since each of them had to respond to the desires, needs, and different materialities required.
The longitudinal house located in the “La Cañada” neighborhood of the City Bell town arises as a consequence of the analysis of the conditions and the program needed by the principal.
The main feature of the site is a steep slope towards the stream, which resulted in the idea of creating a wagon-shaped house suspended on stilts without altering the topography of the lot, taking advantage of the natural drainage and avoiding leveling that required large amounts of land.
A suspended horizontal surface and the ground trap the space where life develops. The outside, the inside. The stillness, the movement. The void, the all.
By folding both surfaces, they modify their horizontal and discover different heights between them.
The void was there and it was subtly trapped for a family to develop their life.
A family that decides to live in the security of a private neighborhood, one of many that emerge in the big cities of Argentina.
“They were there. It was their home…They gave us permission. Suddenly, you feel the birds, the shadows protecting you, the light dancing, aroma of nature, sound of leaves and wind.
The soft heartwood is the beginning, you will enjoy it, it will guide your way, you will travel upon it, you will enter their leaves and walk on them, climb on them, till you reach the top.”
A little house built on a piece of land in the neighborhood of Santa Celina, in the south of Mar del Plata.
The area is known for its abundance of trees and greenery. The property is centrally located on a Pampean-Argentinian block. The site is unique as it contains an atypical level drop towards the main street. To the front, a wide tree-lined street. To the back, facing north, a picturesque green pedestrian space.
The house is compact. Although it has limited floor space, the design manages to offer multiple circulation paths which all converge in a central semi-sunken courtyard.
La Plata is going through a process of constant expansion that grows beyond its original boundaries and extends to the cities that form the Gran La Plata area.
The houses are located in City Bell, originally a peripheral garden neighborhood, consisting of weekend homes and small farms, nowadays it has been consolidated as an autonomous center.
The Hibiscus building, located in Moreno, Buenos Aires; reflects on the speed of changes in lifestyles, seeks to provide flexibility in its spaces, so that they can adapt to the contemporary lifestyle and be indeterminate in the face of an unknown future.
Most of the houses that are currently being built, turn out to be architectures diagrammed by orders established in another era and according to other needs, they are more rigid models framed in an idea of family and way of life destined to endure. The conflict is generated when these established orders and ways of living change, at that moment we find buildings that cannot satisfy the changes.
