Single-family home, located in a gated community a few kilometers from the city of Rosario, on a double corner lot. The house is basically made up of two volumes, one on the ground and the other suspended, connected by an ethereal slab that contains the large main space of the house.

The villa is located in an elevated area with a strong slope in the city of Leiria. The conditions of the subdivision suggested a volumetry of a tower, a viewpoint over the city. One of our premises was that the social areas were located on the upper floors and the swimming pool on the roof, to enjoy the 360º view.

Custom concrete walls matched to the color of local sand were poured in lifts to create a unique wavy texture that shifts as the light changes throughout the day. “As you approach the property,” notes Sharon Okada, Senior Project Ma...

CONCRETE 11 was born to fulfill a desire to live close to the center of Lisbon, without compromising the sharing with the environment granted by a country house. The project's conception made it possible for the house to interact with its surroundings, with the reverse also being a reality.

Tucan House is set on a corner lot in the city of Cariló, a seaside town situated 400 km from Buenos Aires. Due to the vegetation present in the area -large lamberts and elliotis pines - and the distance to the beach and downtown, the place resembles an urbanized forest.

A house built for a garden. On a quiet street next to Chapultepec forest, a discrete volcanic rock wall reveals an entrance that when entering a young Jacaranda is spotted at the end of the plot bathed in sunlight. Bamboo disguises the boundaries of the plot, and in it, a concrete core is born in the foundations and rises three levels up.
