Designed for a Pulsating Social Life: Urbane Home for Young Couple in Buenos Aires

ByMyProperty Life

Everyone has a different requirement for a dream house. Some want a house that is functional, space-savvy and adaptive while others want a residence that is grand, relaxing and nature-centric. At times, our expectations from our house also change with changing time, age and health conditions. This exquisite and polished residence in Escobar, Buenos Aires was created by GMARQ to meet the needs of a young couple who have a vibrant social life and need to constantly host gatherings for friends and family. Using this as the central defining aspect of the house, architects crafted a living area along with open kitchen and dining that can all be used as one large ‘social zone’.

With a carport at the entrance, it is on the other end of the house that there is a lovely pergola structure under the cantilevered upper level that takes the party outdoors. With a generous garden area and swimming pool, there is no shortage of space here even as the grill outside helps the hosts serve up amazing delicacies. On the same level is the high-tech TV room that was built keeping in mind acoustics and connectivity needs while a smart staircase leads to the upper level with bedrooms in neutral hues.

    Located on a small lot in Downtown Toronto, the owners of this new three storey residence desired a peaceful urban retreat, purposefully tailored to nurture and enhance a close communal family life and their enjoyment of the outdoors. The response is a highly personalized expression of one small family’s particular lifestyle. At ground level, a back-split condition responds to the natural slope of the site. An adventurous sectional arrangement continues vertically upward, with additional split levels arranged around a 3-storey light well, drawing sunlight (and moonlight) deep into the house. A home office occupies the light well, with views to the living room above, and a library space below. What would typically be the dark middle of the house is bathed in sunlight and enjoys a feeling of expansive vertical space. The various regions of the home are all closely knit together across this interior light well, creating an interesting balance between separation and intimacy: While the family may be individually occupied with remote activities (cooking, lounging, working, playing), they are always quickly and easily engaged with one another. The three principal living spaces (Living room, Kitchen/ Dining area, Library) also expand outwards, into separate exterior areas, each with its own unique and complementary character. At ground level, an arrangement of subtle level changes and low partitions gradually increase the degree of privacy as one moves from the street, through the interior, and into a secluded, forested back garden. The third floor living room – an urbanized version of a cabin in the woods with wood stove and cedar ceiling – nestles intimately into tree tops at one end, and opens widely toward the sky at the other. An upper level outdoor terrace offers easy enjoyment of the city skyline, urban tree canopy, sunsets, and the night sky. The house is thus organized around three principal axes which connect the interior with the outdoors: a ground level Garden Axis, a third level Sky Axis, and a vertical Sun Axis.
