Description Multifamily Housing

Location Villa Crespo, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Area 140 m2

Team Natalia Kahanoff, Lucila Ottolenghi, Luciana Casoy

It intervenes in a typology of townhouse very widespread in the city that is made up of two homes; one on the ground floor and one on the upper floor. The one that is transformed is the latter and is in turn divided into two new units. It is sectioned in its longitudinal direction (parallel to the municipal line) where there is then one house facing the street and another towards the lung of the block. Shared access through a common staircase where the two entrances branch and where its internal configuration differs and responds not only to the material and possible conditions but also to the definition and ways of life of its inhabitants.

Mutar is an architecture studio founded in Buenos Aires in 2015 by Lucila Ottolenghi, Natalia Kahanoff, Luciana Casoy, and Florencia López Iriquín. Their practice focuses on housing as a realm for exploring spatial, material, and social dimensions across various scales. They work on both new construction and the transformation of existing structures, approaching each project based on the specific conditions of the site and its inhabitants, as well as the interplay between materiality, structure, spatiality, and architectural expression. Their practice also extends to teaching and research; they currently lead the "Project II: Everyday Rhythms and Community Building" course at Torcuato Di Tella University (UTDT) and teach at the Río de la Plata within the Faculty of Architecture, Design, and Urbanism at the University of Buenos Aires (FADU-UBA).
