This single-family home, located on a small lot in Villa Urquiza, Buenos Aires, stands as an urban house that dialogues with its immediate surroundings. The morphology of the house composes the corner, contributing to not exhausting the buildable volume, in a manifest desire to maximize the surrounding urban voids.
The wall conformation of the house together with the carefully located openings create a pure, functional and contemporary volume. This architecture, simple and forceful, is manifested through clear lines and honest materials evoking a feeling of serenity and order.
Functionally, the house is organized in spaces that are articulated through a large central patio and terraces. The extensions function as catalysts for the daily activities of the house, promoting a constant interaction between the interior and the exterior.
On the ground floor, which is directly related to the street, there is a barbecue area for social and recreational activities. This sector also has a wine cellar, adding a touch of sophistication and functionality.
For privacy, a microperforated aluminum sheet filter is placed on the façade.
On this floor there is also a workshop/studio and the entrance hall: all these spaces expand towards the patio.

The first floor, the main floor, houses all the daily daytime activities. A large living room opens onto a terrace with long views towards the corner, generating spaciousness in the interior spaces. All these spaces look out onto the central patio, creating a continuous visual and spatial connection.
On the second floor are the bedrooms and a small studio. The top floor houses the technical and service areas of the house, including a green terrace and a swimming pool that function as recreational and leisure elements.
The link between all the floors is made through a wooden and metal staircase that looks out onto the patio, which acts as the epicenter of the dynamics of the house. This central courtyard not only organizes the space, but also facilitates the entry of natural light and cross ventilation, creating a bright and healthy interior environment.
The material condition of the house is based on the use of a few simple construction elements that come together in a subtle and elegant morphological synthesis.
An introspective house, with calibrated cavities that establish relationships with the voids and becomes a serene and functional refuge in the middle of the urban environment.

Additional Concepts:

Stereotomy: The house is conceived as a solid mass that is pierced to generate habitable spaces. The brick and concrete walls are strategically perforated to allow the passage of light and air, creating a game of full and empty spaces that enrich the spatial experience.

Sustainability: The house incorporates sustainable design principles, such as the use of local and recyclable materials as the rainwater collection system. The green terrace contributes to thermal regulation and improves air quality.

Proportion and Urban Environment: The proportion of the spaces has been carefully considered, ensuring a human scale that blends harmoniously with the city. The dwelling not only responds to the needs of the users, but also contributes to the improvement of the urban landscape, respecting and enhancing the characteristics of the neighbourhood.
