One of the first Rationalist houses in Latin America is Victoria Ocampo's residence, located in the Palermo Chico neighborhood of Buenos Aires—specifically at 2831 Rufino de Elizalde Street, on the corner of Mariscal Castilla. Designed in 1928 by architect Alejandro Bustillo, it is considered the first house to represent the Modern Movement in Argentina. The house caused a major stir at the time, sparking controversy and conflict among neighbors and municipal authorities who objected to inserting a Rationalist design into an environment dominated by French Neoclassical buildings.
