This building was the commission of a developer, on a large parcel of 20 x 60 meters, located on street 5 between 42 and 43 of the city of La Plata.
The central, commercial and administrative area is located a few blocks from the intervention, as well as most of the faculties, despite which the area has not yet lost its “neighborhood” characteristics.
Bearing in mind the limited dimensions of the piece of land, we proposed to elevate the public spaces of the house. This resource provides good lighting and great visuals of the city, as it gives privacy to the terrace, which is the main outer space.
On the ground floor the house develops a basing. It allows creating a strong limit with the street, opening up to a small patio. On the access and the bedrooms area, the limit turns sharper, as it gets to be more permeable on the corner.
This project responds to the need of a client who wanted to build his home in a piece of land on the wood of Peralta Ramos, in Mar del Plata.
The house has a contemporary aesthetic. It was designed as a single element of concrete, which makes contrast with the characteristics of its environment. This unique volume is treated to create transition spaces to develop outdoor activities during the summer.

In the northwest area of the extensive periphery of the city of Córdoba, there is the San Martin natural reserve, around which a series of closed neighborhoods have grown in recent years. In one of these neighborhoods, the studio carried out this house for a family of 5 members. Being away from the center of the city, the program requested by the family included areas of study and work for parents and children, as well as areas of common use that support an intense social life.
The dwelling is implanted in a privileged landscape, with gorgeous visuals to the Small mountain ranges of the Punilla Valley, in a private neighborhood at the Northwest of Córdoba, in Mendiolaza City.It presents a rugged topography, with large height differences that allowed us to play with two big volumes supported one over the other one, restinguponthe natural terrain. This situation generates large overhangs, reinforcing the idea of monolithic volumes.
We materialize the concept with concrete seen cast on site in a phenolic formwork. This material is noble, classic, traditional and low maintenance, the same as the stone that was used to erect the retaining walls and the house basement.
Mach House is a suburban permanent home located in a gated community in Maschwitz, in northern Greater Buenos Aires.
The curved streets layout defines the shape of the neighborhood’s lots and the one in which Mach House was built is a trapezoid with curved front and rear sides.

Within the framework of a group of clients constituted by “London Travel” and “Viral Productions” is the “London House experience”: The new headquarters of this travel agency in which we proposed to change the traditional paradigm of service business, where experience exceeds the relationship of purchase and sale. The product, travel, as a means to an end, and the end as a personal experience of the client; now become user and protagonist of the process.
London House is the result of the need that the company had to adjust to the constant changes of the corresponding market. We decided to design a project that could be transformed and accompany the programmatic needs that arose during the operation of the travel agency of our clients, and that neither the materials nor the furniture were conditioning at the time of providing this process.
With the premise of a businessman whose main hobby is to play golf, this house was conceived as an exploration of a composition with volumes and its materials; heavy and light, closed and open, therefore creating a design with great simplicity and beauty in harmony with the landscape.
The project is built in Escobar, on a terrain with views to a golf course and a lagoon, which, although it has been shaped by man, it has a strong presence of nature that invites us to create an architecture and an atmosphere, taking into account main concepts such as: nature as a space generating element, the void, the blurring of limits, the landscape, the noble materials, the beauty.
