Casa al Rio, Argentina
The initial commission was to advise the Casa al Rio client looking for a terrain capable to satisfy his desire of living by the river. The chosen area, is a place where the water and the sound of the river ?Los Reartes? fill the senses and cancel out the adversity of a rugged topography and crossed slopes.

The client wanted to retain the wild, steep and natural landscape had to be preserved in combination with a single floor plan design that could fit the clients brief.
The house is conceived as a juxtaposition of contrasts. Solid and differentiable volumes are moulded and carved by the river that curves and divides the public and private areas of the house. The river is a catalyst that splits the horizontal and vertical, the heavy of the stone and the lightness of the piles.
The volume parallel to the channel receive north west sunlight, this creates a unique and cosy interior space that is also transparent and integrated containing a thick kitchen wall, a divider island and the living space. Windows and openings are installed in a rhythmic and symmetric way on both sides of the long façades. This encourages cross ventilation and blurs the line between indoor and outdoor space.
