From the architect. The place
Costa Esmeralda is a real estate development over the dunes on the coast, 390 km from Buenos Aires.
The lot to intervene is a high rise dune with the peculiarity of having in part aged woods and also a recent pine plantation, although undoubtedly its most prominent feature is the abruptness of its relief.
The commission
The request was a house with an aesthetic-constructive proposal similar to those built in the forest of Mar Azul, appreciated by the clients both for its formal austerity as for the low maintenance required.
Designed to be generally used by two families with young children, the house had to have a generous place for meetings, a kitchen visually integrated to it, and three bedrooms, two of them en suite. Also, and especially, the clients mentioned the need for the house to feature expansion terraces and large glass panels to enjoy the scenery.
