The project is implanted in a Lot in corner of 200 m2, with two stepped ochavas, compared to the almost 30 hectares of the Avellaneda Park in the city of Buenos Aires.
The program consists of a single -family housing which assigns a considerable space to an artistic atelier. These data are used as guidelines to configure the architectural proposal in its entirety.
Adopting an introspective approach, aimed at promoting the connection with art, the user is offered to relate to the outside from the interior comfort, articulating the spaces around a patio central.
Two ribbons, materialized by mezzanine and cover slabs, travel the entire facade. This longitudinal continuity Contrast with the discontinuity generated by the full and empty of the housing volume, highlighting the opening of the house towards the front that gives to the park and its enclosure to the busiest side.
The materiality It reinforces this idea, manifesting through different finishes in reinforced concrete: a smooth texture for horizontal tapes and the rhythmic formwork pattern for vertical planes.
The morphologyon the other hand, it adapts to the site, generating a distinctive volumetry for the unique context to which it responds.
The result, a house seeks Inhabiting problem.
PlantComment from the chair
The project of this house in a corner field takes as the main premise generate a engaging perimeter that maintains the municipal line on its three sides and opens to a central courtyard.
This allows reinforcing Predominant characteristics of the plot Urban of the neighborhood, while generating a wide patio of use.
Views and cutsThe ground floor locals close to the street to open towards the patio.
A wide semi -discovered parking sector that can be used as a barb visual permeability which allows the patio space to flow to urban space and vice versa.
The first floor, not having the privacy restrictions of the ground floor, opens both to the inner courtyard and the urban space and in particular Towards the square.
The openings and their carpentry are designed in such a way of Focus specific views: Park, corners, urban space.
I think the game between very closed and open amalgamated sectors is very interesting in such a way to respond to functional needs and generate situations of great Spatial wealth In addition, the circulatory scheme is clear and optimized.
In summary, the student’s project meets in a whole with the requirements established by the chair for this exercise.

Ángeles Marlene Cabanillas Fontana (19 years old) needed to channel her artistic sensibility and develop it professionally to generate a positive impact on people’s lives.
“I am inspired by the reflective dimension in architecture, a feature that rigorously manifests itself in the work of great referents such as Luis Kahn and Peter Zumthor,” he says.
In terms of morphology, it values the “complex simplicity” achieved by Sanaa and Tadao Ando. “I firmly believe that architecture is an agent of change, capable of improving people’s quality of life, providing solutions to the problems that concern us as humanity today.
Architects like Francis Keré and Alejandro Aravena show this path to an architecture committed to social needs, ”he says.
In addition to studying the race, he attends talks with professionals, exhibitions and courses.
“It is from the genuine curiosity that the experiences that allow authenticity in ideas arise. If it is about designing spaces for life, it is important to learn to live ours. In my equation, connect with art in any of its forms, question the built environment, with paper and pencil in hand, and frequently return to nature are fundamental components. ”
In the future, it is projected by expanding its studies internationally, to continue learning.
