The Nereidas house is located in the Nayades neighborhood, in the city of Pinamar, on the Atlantic coast of the province of Buenos Aires. On the same block as the Boulevard Eros house, it develops on a flat piece of land surrounded by a dense forest of young pines with some large specimens on the back of the property. A gabled roof with free rainwater drainage solves the constant Pine needles generated by the trees in the surroundings. A roof that perforates with patios or becomes translucent according to the need, the orientation, and the existing vegetation.
A small house on a large lot with a wide facade defines a one-level project, extended on the front, including semi-covered areas and empty spaces to increase its volume. A first void solves the access from the street to the south, and a second courtyard preserves two pine trees to the north and the young pine forest in contact with the gallery.
The main living-dining-kitchen space, on the south, opens widely towards the north end through a gallery with a translucent roof that, linked by its gabled roof, seems to form a single deeply related space. The bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the west and east borders to minimize the circulation surface and to isolate the master suite from the other rooms.
Glass, plastic cladding, and wood are the materials that give it a contemporary and stripped-down aesthetic and a strong visual link with the environment. The proposal, in this sense, was to fill the interior spaces with natural light, without obstacles towards the forest and towards the filtered light from the north.
