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 DCA project is located in a very small lot of 105m2 of surface, in one of the most traditional residential areas of the City of Mendoza, whose urban environment consists mainly of buildings from the 60’s and 70’s located proximal to the General San Martín Park, the largest lungs in the city. The proposal comprises a continuity of the neighboring facades observing the existing buildings throughout the block. Thus, the morphology achieved follows the immediate urban environment, accounting for both pedestrian and vehicular needs.
The House is located in a golf club, with privileged views over the course. This allowed to create spaces linked to the enviroment the house is placed in.
The owners, a family of three, requested a functional home, which could adapt to their work and living needs. Therefore, the house was designed with Living-Dining room, bedrooms and maids room at the ground floor. A studio room was designed in the 1st floor, with a secondary entrance through the outside of the building.
Traditional type of construction, reinforced concrete, brick masonry, slab and metalic covers, aluminum carpentry.
The vineyard landscape with the Andes Mountains is subtle, we must rise over the vegetation line to get the views of the valley and the Andes mountains.
The house is located in real-estate project of vineyards in the Uco’s Valley, south of the city of Mendoza. It was designed for an Ecuadorian family who plans to spend the harvest season there. At the same site there is also a vineyard with different strains that will produce wine to be aged in the House´s wine cellar.
