Text description provided by architect.
A small house for a young couple who lives in Buenos Aires and wants to get away to a suburban area.
They have some savings and a small site to build dreams and future memories.
We talk about construction; they want to build with earth. They imagine an adobe house in a very rainy place.
We propose to cook the mud and we design it with traditional brick. Walls, floors and ceilings are made of brick.
We put paint to obtain a difference between vertical and horizontal planes. A vault rules the character of space.
We talk about fire. They remember their childhoods back in Argentinean Patagonia.
Their parents used to cook lamb and cow meat. We propose a fire pit in the courtyard, so they can have those memories back.
But that fire will also be the light and heat for many “peñas” to come:
a gathering of friends and family where they can play the guitar at night and sing folk and tango music.
