The house is situated on a corner lot in Puertos Escobar, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The primary challenge of this project lay in the site’s atypical shape. Being a corner plot, the aim was to maximize the available area by adopting a V-shaped layout.

Pirca Arquitectura: Not having a defined program our main challenge was to design a space that was able to accommodate different types of programs and that could easily adapt to each one of them. We were interested in the analogy with an art gallery, in which exhibitions are in constant change and transformation.
