The 2020 pandemic generated a change in the way of appreciating open spaces of residential buildings, whether they are balconies or common spaces.
In this case, it is about the remodeling and enhancement of the ground floor of a building, in front of the Argentine Polo fields, in the City of Buenos Aires: The cul de sac for vehicular and pedestrian access was converted into a coexistence street, between pedestrians and vehicles, with a subtle change of pavement to indicate these two sectors that are separated from the fields only by a centennial fence.
Jaima is the fourth residence of a series of concrete houses built by the firm Estudio Galera in a small neighbourhood in the south of Pinamar.
A 1700-square-metre plot bordering an ‘urbanized’ forest gives the possibility of settling down in a context of pines and dunes in the shape of a small urban appendix called Constancia Neighbourhood. This peninsula of ‘domesticated’ forest is set inside an un-plotted massif on the edge of Carilo city.
In order to maximize the connection with the natural surroundings, industrialized resources –such as PVC cubes used in the slab- were incorporated. The brief focuses on devising comfortable spaces in which the rusticity of the environment becomes an asset rather than a setback.
Located in the Isla del Sol district of Tigre, Casa E is implanted and coexists with the regulations of the place.
At the time of projecting it, we are faced with a corner plot, with an atypical typology within the implantations that are normally worked in the studio.
We decided on a design based on an L-shaped bar located opposite the corner, which instead of having the shape of it, configures two gardens, an internal side one that surrounds the bar and an external one.
The house is located on the end of a sloped neighborhood, on a place that borders a native forest; in contrast, the land where the house is located is flat, with no vegetation or gradients.
With soil extracted from the land itself, the house rises 1.30m high to pass the line of sight over the neighboring grove and take advantage of a better view of the landscape.
Galatea is a vacation home built in Constancia neighbourhood, in a four-block-appendix in the south of Cariló, a seaside town situated 400 km from Buenos Aires.
A coastal home is generally uncluttered, reflecting a rustic holiday lifestyle. This house was built to be rented during the year, so there was not a specific program of needs except from some conditions of accessibility and circulations.
We are in a neighborhood of low-density single-family homes that highlight the verticality of the urban trees of the city. The land is unified in the shape of an “L”, where the shortest side presents a house and the longest side a service area of the house, each side of the lot responds to different streets and conditions. The land faces North, contains a construction of a quincho – laundry – garage made of exposed bricks and presents an orange tree and a large palm tree. The meeting point of the two lands is considered as a common and recreational space. We take the longest part of the Land, this sector is detached from the other part by a subdivision given by the Parents to their daughter. Thus leaving a field of 10.00mts in front x 19.00mts long.
This project is a small collective housing building in the city of Buenos Aires on an urban plot of 8.66 meters wide and 33 meters deep. The project works with an independent concrete structure where columns and beams are hidden in the different wall enclosures such as the dividing wall and the interior divisions that organize the housing units. A vertical patio in the center of the plant organizes the circulation and access from an illuminated space with a tree in the center that will grow up every year and manifesting the cycle of the seasons from the change of color of the leaves.

Urban Style Pampa is located in Villa Urquiza, at the corner of La Pampa and Mariano Acha streets and a few meters away from the new linear park of the “Donado-Holmberg” district.
This nine unit building offers two different typologies (one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments) organized in triplex, which due to their distribution, their spatiality and a series of singular details, refer to the idea of “little urban houses”.
