S+J House is located in the seaside neighborhood Costa Esmeralda, a private development 13 km north of the city of Pinamar and four hours away from Buenos Aires city.
Despite being almost plain, the plot of land slopes softly towards its back. As the Studio proposed to preserve the lot’s dense pine grove, only the trees on the construction site were removed in order to build the house.
The client, a group of two families, requested a house that could lodge both at the same time and that could be rented out.
The office is located on the top floor of a corner building, in the heart of Palermo neighborhood, Buenos Aires.
Starting from an open plan, it was decided to locate the private offices and meeting rooms on the party wall; providing the workstations with exterior views and natural lighting.
The workstations are developed in the form of interconnected 120° islands, to promote a fluid communication between people.
The store is located in an important commercial area of Buenos Aires, in front of one of the busiest bike-paths in the city.
The project arises from the need to duplicate the sq ft of the existing store, due to the exponential growth of the company. Nowadays, the 4000 sq ft are distributed in three floors: 1st is the main shop, workshop and patio; 2nd is the warehouse and product development area; 3rd is for main offices, meeting room, dining room and terrace.
This project stems from the need to modernize the branch, using new materials and revaluing the space to adapt to current needs.
The program includes new workstations, a new private office, the design of a new store marquee, and the possibility to take advantage of the original height, that was hidden above the sheetrock ceilings.
A new aluminum composite cladding was specially designed, to create an interesting background for the employees. It’s geometric modules evoke the company logo.
House in the Trees was designed to be built in Barrio Marítimo II, a neighborhood in Costa Esmeralda, located thirteen kilometers north of the city of Pinamar and four hours away from Buenos Aires City. Parallel to the sea, this neighborhood is separated from the coastline by a screen of leafy pines, thus producing a setback that complies with provincial regulations.
This small block of Professional Studios is located on a tiny corner lot in La Paternal neighborhood. The urban situation for insertion is somewhat particular, as La Paternal is the typical sort of popular neighborhood, with a low scale, certainly neglected, bohemian, a soccer fan (the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium of Argentinos Junior soccer team, which is called “the World hotbed” by its supporters, and where Diego Armando Maradona started his football career, is just two blocks far from this building), with an interesting accessibility to different areas in the city and, since very few years ago, steadily growing and being renovated…
The morphology with which the corner was conformed emerges from the structural resolution, in the manner of juxtaposed and stacked concrete plaques by gross table generating full and empty spaces, with a kind of sculptural treatment, granting identity to the building, integrating it and “making a city”…
This office building is located in an Industrial Park belonging to the Argentine energy company YPF (Yacimiento Petrolíferos Fiscales S.A.), located in the town of Ensenada, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The order is the result of the first prize of a private preliminary draft contest held in 2015, whose program sought the extension and annex of the current Purchasing and Contracting Building, built on the same site, generating 3,000 m2 of new jobs, circulation and meeting spaces, and services.
This project arises from the desire to retake the idea of the Towers in La Boca, by the architects Justo Solsona, Josefa Santos, Gian Peani and Ernesto Katzenstein (with the structure of Eng. Gallo), from the year 1956. Winning project of a national competition for construction of 300 houses in La Boca, never realized. The main idea of these buildings, of metabolist design, was the stacking of boxes alternating floor to floor, which presented a housing typology with terraces in the corners, allowing a panoramic view of the port and the city.
The idea for these towers is to reinterpret, in the contemporary key, that project of 4 units per floor, 4 corners. Therefore, to do it, we had, in the first instance, to resign a unit of 2 dormitories per floor, which were displaced above Building K.
On this occasion of having to work with the expansion of the school spaces of a secondary school educational institution, we think it is fundamental to rethink and to deepen the meaning of the school in the times that we find ourself living in. We understand that formulating new proposals for these types of spaces has a direct impact on the future understanding of public spaces, meeting spaces and the city.
The school is in some way the first place, the threshold, where a person assimilates a contact with the public space, with sharing, with the socialization of the places of transition where one develops life.
