Root House

The house is located in a closed neighborhood in the northern side of Buenos Aires and is implanted in a ​​940 m2 lot. At the back of it there is a navigable canal that leads to the Lujan River.This strongly natural feature and the desire of the client to have a permeable house, closely linked to the environment, were the starting points for the project. We imagine then that the house could behave like a root that is taking possession of the land. A linear element, that bifurcates, goes up or down depending on the obstacles that wants to avoid or the objectives to follow during the growing process. Therefore, the architecture appears in this lot as a living element that will deformed according to the needs of the program or seeking to maxim... More

OT House

The house is located in the northern area of ​​Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a private suburban neighborhood. The lot has a strong natural component, because of the geography of the place but specially, because it borders a navigable river that communicates with the Delta del Río de la Plata. In this way, we seek to colonize this landscape as an architectural object that not only captures it but also proposes different ways of relating to it (through patios, water mirrors, lucarnas, running windows or punctual windows). The client wanted to have a special house in all senses, to connect it with nature, promote shared moments with friends and explore different ways of living, interior or exterior, intimate or social, contained or open, da...

Casa SL

In an irregular lot, the house is located in order to win the major lake view. In relation to this, the social sector appears on the ground floor, composed of living and dining room, kitchen and an opened gallery, free of columns that frames the view and proposes a fluid connection inside - outside. On the same floor, a set of solid volumes, containing services, work as visual barriers and give privacy to the house. Over them, on the first floor, there is a single volume of concrete that contains the private sector, from where you also have a privileged view of the landscape. Another important issue that we developed in this project had to do with the study of different forms of sustainable energy generation. As a result of the an...

Interior design VINYL / Дизайн интерьера VINYL

All we need is Love! Exactly the love of simplicity of form and freedom from superfluous is the main feature of the interior of our new project. It was important for us to create just such an atmosphere in which our client would enjoy life. The main hobby of the client is music, we focused on that in the interior using the game of contrasts of light and materials. Everything is very concise and easy to use, for example the absence of a large dining table or TV in the living room... all because it simply does not need the customer. Let's enjoy simplicity and style!Project  Year: 2018Location: Lviv, Ukraine   More pictures and information you cand find HERE https://www.besense.studio/   Follow US: https://www.instagram.com/besense.studio/ htt...

CBR2

The house is located in a residential gated community in Querétaro, México. The existing tipology is defined by buildings that compete within themselves to be the most original, more detailed, more expensive and excesive. All of this while showing a lack of interest towars the street scale and the shape of the land they are built upon. For these reasons, the project begins by adapting its shape to the site. There is a 8ft slope that allows the section of the house to step into the site easily. Being the corner of the block, and given the local building restrictions, it was important to emphasize and keep a reasonable human scale towards the street. This is the reason why the house has a lower relationship towards the corner and concentrates... More

44PL

This project is conceived as a series of concrete retaining walls and escarpments that traverse and cascade down a steeply sloped site. The building strategy is to deploy a series of straight walls that act as “jetties” into the landscape and respond as a counterforce to the topography. Hovering above and anchored to these concrete site walls is the “House” proper, a “primitive” conceived and constructed as a series of smooth extruded volumes of differing lengths. Symbolically and strategically, the first of these “boxes” presents a gable-front facade to the street and helps conceal the scale of the overall house beyond. The second container-box rotates 90 degrees and runs parallel to the street and site walls. The perpendicular orientation... More

Casa de la Luz

To open to the outside, this is what we seek by incorporating the terraces into the interior space and creating new and large windows, which make the whole house look immersed in light.We gave a turn to the distribution, now the dining room is the protagonist space and a large kitchen with a new laundry area is created. The kitchen is solved with a large bench and peninsula of porcelain material and spectacular fires integrated into it.The natural wood on the floor stands out, the spectacular floor-to-ceiling doors without frame and with displaced axle made by hand with old mobila, and the master suite with the built-in bathroom, which creates a more attractive and bright space.The secondary bathroom is finished in microcemento, the counter...

Boetger Residence

This home is designed for a small family seeking to create a modern, sustainable, residence with abundant daylight and views of the adjacent Holston River. Located on an overgrown and under-utilized lot within the 90+ year old Holston Hills neighborhood, the design embraces natural light and maximizes programmatic and energy efficiency. While small compared to current housing trends, the design utilizes ample floor to ceiling glass to visually expand the program into the landscape. Additional exterior shaded and covered areas extend living spaces outside. Restrained detailing and minimal color used throughout the relatively small interiors make the spaces feel gracious and open.  The program is organized to cel...
