Bressi House
Area:
2,700 SF
Location:
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Project Status:
Completed
Project Type:
Family-Home
Located in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, this project was designed around the constraints of an existing single-story house, using its footprint as the foundation for the new structure. A prominent 6-meter-high stone wall serves as a defining feature, organizing the space within.
The entry and living areas are arranged in a linear sequence along this wall, beneath a gently vaulted, wing-like roof. Large windows line three sides of the open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchen, offering expansive views. The design emphasizes the interaction of various volumes and the dialogue between materials of different textures and colors—stone, wood, plaster, and glass—while the strategic orientation of the walls and windows ensures optimal use of natural light, allowing it to transform and animate the interior spaces throughout the day.
