The Lambertiana House is located in Carilo, a small seaside town near Buenos Aires, Argentina. The house is organized with a clear directional logic: it closes off and protects the front, and opens completely to the rear, where the land slopes down towards the light and the treetops.
The project explores the fluid nature of concrete to its expressive limit. The slab is not conceived as an independent plane, but as a material continuity that fades into the walls. Rigid joints disappear. The transitions between roof and wall are resolved through smooth curves and organic geometries that emerge from the concrete's own capacity to flow within the formwork.
This decision is not formalism. It is the consequence of returning the material to its original state. The wooden formwork leaves its mark on the surface, recording the process and demonstrating that the form is born from the fluid state. There are no claddings to conceal the structure. The structure is the form, and the form is the space.
Towards the front, the curved masses of concrete create a continuous envelope that protects from direct views and attenuates the midday sun. The depth of the curves produces dynamic shadows that change throughout the day, reducing glare and heat gain without closing off the connection with the exterior.
Towards the rear, the slab rises and thins, allowing for full-height glazed panels. The interior opens onto the gallery and the garden, extending domestic life into the woods. Protection becomes a frame, and the frame becomes transparency.
The continuity between slab and wall alters the perception of the interior space. The ceilings cease to be neutral planes and become enveloping surfaces that rise and fall according to the program. This condition compresses and expands the space, creating areas of intimacy near the walls and areas of expansion in the center.
The plasticity of the concrete is not used as an ornamental gesture, but as a structural and spatial principle. From this stem the sun protection, the definition of spaces, the visual continuity, and the identity of the building.
Casa Lambertiana is an exercise in material coherence. By taking liquid concrete to its highest expression, the architecture eliminates the distinction between structure, enclosure, and form. The result is a home that protects without enclosing itself, that opens without exposing itself, and that acquires character through constructive honesty. A house where gravity is resolved in a curve, and the curve is inhabited.
