Casa Quintas is located in a gated community in Tafi Viejo, a suburb minutes away from the capital city San Miguel de Tucumán. The parti finds it’s roots moving away from all the modern architectural preconceptions of a typical country club house in Tucumán’s suburbs.

The first sketches were inspired by some sort of “Revival” on what was once the typical patio house. A large courtyard  is the center of the composition, connecting the spaces and interacting differently with each and every single one of them. Thereby the social area projected in a single large fluid space opens completely to the courtyard, while the private area’s relationship to it is more subtle allowing lighting and ventilation without putting intimacy at stake.
