For this branch of Nevería Roxy, located in western Mexico City, everything that was proven successfully for the historical center branch, was used in order to maintain the spirit of the original ice cream parlors with a contemporary ambiance. Again, we worked as team with the family and we stick to their wishes, managing to continue the essence that characterizes Roxy in a daring way.
It is a horizontally built apartment building on a confined plot of land in the city of Santa Fe, located at the intersection between the streets Pasaje Maipú and the north-east corner of Calle Urquiza. The built volume lies on the south and west medians, freeing the corner to configure a square with trees, functioning as an entry for pedestrians and vehicles.
The Project for the Defensoría Zonal N°2 of the city of Santa Fe, is a work of great importance for the Poder Judicial since it will achieve a notable improvement in the justice service that is now provided in that area of the city.
It is noteworthy that the building had to be inserted in a triangular terrain with particular measurements, that gave the indications that generated the final morphology of the work.
Client: Poder Judicial de la Provincia de Santa Fe
Project and Construction Management: Arq. Juan Valiente – Arq. Sebastián Adelia – Arq. Luis Carreras – Tec. Javier Gonzalez – Tec. Bruno Gripaldi- Arq. Barbara Battle Casas – Architect Sebastian Soriano
The idea was to generate a large shadow affecting the least amount of soil, as would a tree, spreading with lush foliage over its main stem.
In order to achieve it, the loads rise, where with great robustness it spreads its branches to the north, east and west (but not to the south), thus tripling its surface in relation to the ground floor, and then transferring them in three supports, each one transferring on average one hundred and twenty tons to the ground.
The house is built around a void between volumes generated to force access to the house through a pedestrian path. By doing this, we create an open sky tour that prolongs the time and distance to get to the semi-covered gallery.
“Tucumán 2615 Building” is located within Pichincha District —four blocks from Oroño Boulevard and five blocks from Paraná River waterfront. Built on a 10 m x 17.5 m plot, this building is 13 m tall, the maximum height permitted as per Rosario’s Urban Code. This was established for the area delimited by a special plan devised for Pichincha District, “Plan Especial Barrio Pichincha”, which applies to the majority of the blocks in the area.

The color and finishes palette answers to the operational needs and image design of the space generating a homogeneous mixture between rustic and contemporary trends.
The Franchino mill stands as a metaphor waiting to become habitat, to recover its dimension, to be inhabited to say its words.
The word is mill; meaning use to grind, to pulverise, to turn the heavy things into light ones, to destroy the whole in order to achieve subtlety. It is something used to change the matter into a different thing, the flour of language, a way of naming us.
Pichincha Neighborhood is a low-density area of Rosario, in full development and exceptionally located. This urban site is under a master plan(named after the neighborhood),which in order to preserve its heritage and urban scale restricts the maximum heights of new buildings. As a consequence, apartment building construction is restricted and the existing buildings are started to be rented for other uses pursuant to the new regulations.
Castelli owes its appearance to an interpretation of a recent urban regulation proposed for some “corridors streets” of this low-density area.
In a small corner lot of 11.60 x 16.50mts, the block complies with the mandatory street withdrawals and separates from inner limits lots, which give a certain height to take advantage of views of the Setúbal lagoon and the center of the city.
