In sight of a comfortable house for the whole family, the owners decided to renovate an old house from the early 50s. The architects from Lab Arquitetos developed the project in order to integrate the outdoor area to the inside of the house, making it possible the usage of  pergolas, balconies and wide windows.

Searching for an aesthetical look that refers to the northern Argentina fields and grasslands, rustic materials such as wood were used, contrasting with the contemporary furniture and integrated rooms. The original laundry area gave place to a living area with an open garden and grill area, both with view to the refurbished swiming pool.
