The following description is courtesy of the architects. In the Estancia Puesto Viejo country club in the town of Cañuelas, this vacation home is located on a corner with a country setting on a large lot.
The generatrix of this project is given by the repetition of concrete beams that act as binding elements between the house and the environment, granting depth in the longitudinal direction of the plot. Another fundamental role is that of supporting the two slabs that contain the program, in which, depending on the use (public or private), they are located above or below the ribs, defining two scales in the development of the house, offering shelter or monumentality depending on the area covered.
Brick is another preponderant material in the work. Friendly with the environment, it participates in the envelope, taking on different roles, either as a filter where it functions as a filter towards the strongest solar action, allowing the entry of controlled light on the circulation to the bedrooms, as well as providing privacy to the rooms. most intimate parts of the house. Towards the south face of the land, it extends like a large double wall that prevents the direct action of the most unfavorable winds on the cabin. On the other hand, in the form of a tongue as the dominant horizontal plane, it materializes from the street, crosses the central area of the house, connecting with the exterior until it ends in a large reflecting pool that accompanies the entire length of the house. He is also in charge of making up the stands for the tennis court at the back of the lot.
As a translucent material, glass is in charge of allowing direct relationships with the extensive landscape determined by an iron carpentry in which the chosen color resembles brick, seeking to give synthesis and balance in materiality.
The sum of the parts make up the entire house where each element accompanies and defines the project decisions imposed.
