Contemporary Concrete House, Buenos Aires, Argentina

International architectural practice Vanguarda Architects have designed the Concrete House project. Completed in 2011, the two-storey residential property can be found in the Los Pintores gated neighbuorhood, El Nacional Country Club, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The main feeling that the nine room property conveys is a sense of defiance of gravity and space. With its large spans of glass that take advantage of the house’s relationship to the environment, the space seems almost larger than life.

With an expansive surface area of 500 m2, the ground floor is home to the social sector of the house. Here you will find the living room, dining room, kitchen with breakfast bar, and TV room, as well the outdoor barbecue and patio – perfect for alfresco dining.

Each space in the contemporary designed property features  a special design selected according to the way of life of its owners, and remains true to the rational current style that is perceived in each and every corner.

On the upper floor, find  the master suite with a spacious bathroom and private dressing room. At the other end of the floor, two secondary suites are connected by a glass corridor that opens onto a balcony, generating a sense of  integration and flow.

The interior design of the whole property is in perfect harmony, with materials such as wood, steel, and glass found throughout. The seriousness of the style is broken by the use of bright colours on some of the walls, as well the soft furnishings.

“The union of the spaces creates a sense of endlessness, taking full advantage of the environment. generates an endless spatiality, which was thought to take advantage of the environment, that ends with an dematerialised surround that covers the architectural box.
