The project, for a quincho and garages, takes place in a farm in Los Cardales, a village of rural origin in the province of Buenos Aires. The building is arranged, next to a row of pines on the edge of the northern lateral retreat, completing the preexisting delimitation of a central garden, contained on the front by the house and virtually limited to the bottom, by the pool, and on the south side , by a grove of aguaribayes.
Two pairs of partitions, perpendicular to each other, resolve the supports of the roof and organize interiors and patios, which mediate between the parts of the new program and between these and the existing house. These pieces of reinforced concrete control the visuals towards the private areas of the house and frame the perspectives from the barbecue area towards the garden. Reinforced concrete platforms, slightly elevated on the ground, complement the spatial delimitations raised by the partitions.
The technology of the roof, resolved entirely in wood, favors, through textures and tonalities, the integration of the work in the environment, with a strong natural character. The structure of laminated eucalyptus beams is organized with a series of longitudinal beams arranged, alternately up and down, between two transverse beams. This organization virtualizes the roof of double inverted slope while generating an interstitial space, between the ceiling and the beams, which softens and colors the light, which enters tangent by the high ends of the roof. The phenolic plywood panels, of standard dimensions, determine the structural module, resolve the ceiling and support the thermal and hydrophobic insulation of a continuous roof formed by the projection of successive layers of expanded polyurethane and polyurea.
The glazed enclosures, of colored aluminum profiles, are arranged delayed, with respect to the edges of the roof, organizing galleries on both sides that mediate the relationship between interior and exterior. These sliding carpentry of large dimensions, allow the integration of the interior with the semi-covered, thus unifying, all the space under the cover.
