LOCATION
The Ñ house is located in the Nuevo Quilmes neighborhood, in a lot that borders both on its sides and on the back with other houses, while in front, street and houses, there is a canal.
This condition led us to think of the work in two apparently contradictory ways, but which respond to the particularities of the terrain. On the first floor, at the back, the house is open, while the front is closed and the services are located. Then, on the upper floor, there are bedrooms that preserve their privacy as they are boxes with very careful perforations, and on the terrace, a recreation area and viewpoint of the family recovers the long views over the whole neighborhood.
ORGANIZATION
On the first floor, the house is organized around a central courtyard, which separates the kitchen-dining area from the living room, but at the same time keeps it visually integrated, thus preserving a perception of the maximum width possible on the lot. This condition of maximum extension is recovered in the covered gallery or winter garden-quincho, which ends up uniting the traditional areas of the house in a sort of indeterminate social space that takes advantage of its dimensional particularity and in turn of its relationship with the exterior.
On the upper floor, the central courtyard no longer divides hemispheres in the longitudinal sense of the house, but does so transversally, placing the children at the front of the lot and the parents at the back of the lot. From the middle section, through an elevated patio, there is access to the garden terrace on the top level where the water tank, the boiler, the central air conditioning system and a series of flower beds and places to sit and enjoy the landscape from different places are located.
PATIO
The central empty space interprets its limits with the covered spaces in a particular way on each side that defines it. On the first floor, it is proposed to link the social spaces with each other, which is why it is glazed on 3 sides, but regulates its intensity in the circulation expressing a triangle that allows amply illuminate the entire floor and partially anticipate the outcome towards the bottom.
In its upper part, the courtyard remains more conservative, with small perforations that maintain the privacy of the intimate rooms, with the exception of the upstairs study, which is located next to the children's room.
FORM
The general volumetry of the work, is proposed as a still life, where objects are stacked, approach, dialogue masses and forms, finding tensions and distensions.
The house is embodied as a prism in its entirety with a central hole, the courtyard, and towards the front the vertical circulatory elements and other secondary spaces, are individualized within the main form that inscribes the house to begin a dialogue with the inflections proposed by the visuals towards the dam through the houses.
In the facades, in their flat sections, regulating axes were traced to organize the carefully executed openings from the interior. What on the outside appears to be random, on the inside finds its opening with a logic proper to the internal function.
MATERIALITY
The house is of traditional construction, with a reinforced concrete structure and hollow brick plastered with plastic coating as external finish. The masonry presence is predominant throughout the building, with carefully designed openings on all sides, with the exception of the downstairs back wall, where the space is liberated with a 13-meter long semi-inverted beam that clears the glazed gallery of obstacles to increase the interior-exterior relationship.
The interiors of the house are perceived as white with a single level of suspended ceilings that contain the central air conditioning that runs through all the rooms without being perceived.
As for the details of the ironwork, the work tries to recover the Argentinean rationalist tradition, using a language of round pipes that enhance the lines of the house and proposes its terraces as viewpoints to the outside.
