The project, located on a corner lot in Vicente López measuring 16 by 8 meters, posed the challenge of unifying two residences under a coherent architectural language while preserving the identity of each space.
The proposal maximizes the allowable buildable area in terms of surface and volume, requiring a strategy that optimized the habitable space to its fullest. This operational rationality not only addressed the lot’s constraints but also allowed for a radical transformation of the living experience, ensuring that each residence became functional, accessible, and contextually relevant.
Rotated volumes generate patios and terraces that provide privacy and enhance the relationship between interior and exterior spaces. The public areas of both residences are situated along the perimeter, while private spaces are organized toward the interior, taking advantage of a mandatory 4x4-meter setback that functions as a central courtyard.
Although the architectural ensemble is conceived as a perforated mass, the choice of materials introduces a subtle visual distinction between the two homes. The ground floor features cement bricks, adding weight and texture, while the upper floor is clad in a white finish that emphasizes lightness and clarity. This material contrast creates a unified yet distinct reading, balancing both visual and spatial aspects.
The project reflects the belief that efficient design operations can transform complex spaces into more accessible and meaningful ways of living. Through a precise intervention, the potential of the lot was maximized, resulting in two residences that not only fulfill their function but also reinterpret contemporary living within a work that is simultaneously individual and collective.
