Beautiful house

This house (Nómade Architects) is located in the ecological place Los Huemules (Argentina). The construction of the house was fully subordinated to the spirit and the proportions of the surrounding nature. The size of the house perfectly corresponds to the free area between the trees and even the height it's rising from the ground is only 45 cm. The one storey housing of the project is 130 m². The simple layout of the house provides a comfortable separation between public and private spaces. Wood and metal which became main materials for construction provide the spatial and textural warmth. Not to break the harmony of the composition, the beech wood is used the same as the surrounding forest. Large panoramic windows also amplify and complement the composition. The real life of intimacy with nature should look like this.

The main distinctive feature of the building is that it is land-building. The place of structure presupposes that the house will face a wide road. To avoid this inconvenience and instead of making high walls towards the road, the architects decided to lift up the topography. Opposite south side opens up toward a small creek running along the side. Beautiful exterior spaces are gradually moving into the private living spaces, forming a unity. A little stream harmoniously proceeds under massive construction of the building. This contemporary home is a fraction of rural life in the city.
