Developed mainly on the ground floor, the house is organized around patios and voids that regulate light, ventilation, and the relationship with the outdoors, proposing an introspective and sober architecture, deeply rooted in the domestic landscape of Mendoza. A second floor houses a study, adding an elevated workspace that maintains privacy without losing connection to the rest of the home. The compact, horizontal volume is constructed from exposed concrete walls, wooden screens, and black metal carpentry. From the street, the house presents a restrained and tectonic image that prioritizes privacy without severing its link to the public realm. The façade combines blind surfaces, openings, and filters that suggest the presence of interior patios, anticipating a layered spatial experience. A suspended concrete screen provides intimacy to the bedrooms while allowing grazing light to enter, softening natural illumination in the interior spaces. At the heart of the project are the common areas—kitchen, dining, and living rooms—which are articulated around a central garden and open onto it through large glazed panels. This direct connection with the exterior, along with cross-ventilation and natural light, creates an efficient and comfortable microclimate, key in Mendoza’s arid context. The private areas—bedrooms and bathrooms—are located in a more secluded wing of the house, each with visual or physical access to individual patios that offer both privacy and a connection to vegetation. All projections to the exterior are linked to patios or open spaces, ensuring natural light and ventilation in every room. In these patios, salvaged glass-paneled screens reinterpret traditional elements of Mendoza’s architecture, creating layers of transparency and reflections that enrich the spatial experience. The sequence of circulation—constantly accompanied by the texture of concrete, the warmth of wood, and the transparency of glass—offers a fluid, quiet, and unhurried way of inhabiting the space. From a construction standpoint, the project employs simple and honest systems: load-bearing concrete walls, flat slabs, and metal joinery, paired with a restrained and coherent material palette. Natural light, filtered through skylights, screens, and wooden slats, plays a central role—marking the passage of time and activating the textures of each surface. Rather than impose itself, the project seeks to integrate with sobriety and precision into its context, offering a contained and functional architecture that also reflects the owner’s appreciation for recycled elements and traditional local resources.
