The architecture of this
house is inspired in the colonial homes of the countryside of the Province of
Buenos Aires. These homes were originally developed with a single story floor
plan, with long galleries and
a tower or belvedere, used to watch from a distance the presence of native
Indians. Another
feature is the heavy mass of masonry walls and volumes. The exterior, of great
austerity, is finished with a rustic colored plaster. The language used is
contemporary and pure. With strong emphasis on horizontal lines, it references
the Plains of the Pampa’s. The floor paving of the external access is recycled
ancient cobblestones. Modern, sophisticated and young as its owners, the house
is still representative of tradition.
