Description Single family Home

Location Vicente López, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Area 180 m2

Team Florencia Lopez Iriquin, Natalia Kahanoff, Lucila Ottolenghi, Luciana Casoy

How do we address preexistence? How do you intervene? A house from 1980 with four continuous brick barrel vaults of different sizes, a fragmentation of the space into multiple rooms, little natural light and no connection between the exterior spaces. The project seeks to give value and enhance these roof elements. The interior of the ground floor is then emptied to support it with new metal columns that define and limit a single, large flexible space. In this way, it is possible to connect the outdoor spaces, generate constant cross ventilation and expand the interior limits of the home.

Formed by Lucila Ottolenghi, Natalia Kahanoff, Luciana Casoy y Florencia Lopez Iriquin in the City of Buenos Aires. His main interest lies in the realization of projects and materialization of single-family and collective housing, both in transformations of pre-existing and in new construction. His professional practice also addresses the field of teaching and both theoretical and practical research. It is a space for work and friendship that combines diverse but defined roles. Each project is taken as a field of inquiry to experiment with approach methods that allow heterogeneous results at all scales.
