Gestido House
2848, Presidente General Oscar Gestido, Montevideo, Uruguay
The house is located
in the heart of the of Pocitos neighborhood, a particularly dense
area of the capital
city of Montevideo,
where many modern buildings have replaced the houses built in the early 20th
century, which threatens the privacy of single-level homes.
The challenge to
redesign a house from 1930 located in the heart of this urban city block
was attractive to the
Architect/owner. She knew how to maximize the two unique virtues of such a
property. The project centered around a large courtyard with a big tree that
provides shade and privacy.
The original spatial
partition of the two-level house was characterized by small
rooms which were
replaced by spatial integration on both levels that open into the background.
The house is accessed
through a lobby integrated with the rest of the social space, kitchen and
living room of the first level, from which you access the stairs to the master suite
with a dressing room and bathroom.
In the living room, a
large fireplace is the central point, beyond which are views into the garden.
The intermediate wall
demolition and structural reinforcement of the original construction enabled
the conversion of an aging house into a haven of incredible quality and
functional
space.
