November 5, 2022 Andreas Luco 0

Located in Rocas Negras in Mar del Sud, the town where route 11 from Buenos Aires Province ends. The town is characterized by an austere, hostile and wonderful landscape cons with few habitats during the winter. On the one hand, Cuatro Vientos (four winds) shows up the main idea of creating a family meeting space. On the other hand stands out the field-sea fusion, which geography provides. It is a weekend home, designed for a big and social family. The concept is based on sharing. Projecting in such a dynamic landscape forces us to create contemplation and admiration; on the same day, whether due to the weather, light, or the different seasons of the year, the landscape is in constant movement. The natural section of the land was taken advantage, of to generate direct access to the first and public floor. The morphological idea emerged as a suspended box that works as a container space, supported by the Mar del Plata stone walls, which, with their tectonics, merge with the ground and hide the privacy of the house. The outside and terraces join the perimeter providing a climatic response to be able to use it every hour of the day and time of the year.
