House on the River, Argentina
The House on the River project was conceived prioritizing the benefits offered by the natural environment of the property. The lot had an irregular topography, located in front of the river bank and surrounded by a forest of timbos (typical tree of the Argentine coastal region)
Taking into account these particular characteristics, the main premise of the project method was chosen to raise the house above the natural terrain, leaving free views towards the river and trying to preserve the existing tree species.
The typology is developed in a linear way, in such a way that all the spaces look towards the river, proposing a transparent facade towards that orientation and leaving the services on the opposite facade. Coinciding at the same time, with the best orientation in terms of the dwelling’s sunlight.
Its volumetry is composed of a vertical block through which the entrance staircase is accessed.
This articulates two bodies on each side and at different levels. The first section leads to the bedroom area and the second section to the social area (kitchen-dining-living room) which has an extension of the terrace that overlooks the coast between the treetops.
On the other hand, and in keeping with this idea of caring for natural resources, the decision was made to use a dry construction system and coverings with materials in their natural state: concrete, steel, stone, wood and glass.
