Atelier Cambre / Esteras Perrote

Andreas Luco — Tue, 12 May 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Introduction — The height of the mountain and the irregularity of the forest define the form. The colour and texture of the brick reinforce the character of its geometry. A large, silent space beneath the sunlight entering through the skylights allows one, from within, to see the sky, take up the brush, and transform the space.

Eucalyptus House / Julia Yako + Laura Marino

Valentina Díaz — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Located in the neighborhood of Martínez, north of Buenos Aires and just meters from the Río de la Plata, a contemporary residence is developed within a subdivision landscaped by Carlos Thays on an old estate from the early 20th century. The presence of a large white eucalyptus tree defines the implantation and organizes the project, which is conceived as a volume that embraces an interior courtyard.

Bite House / BIOMA

Valentina Díaz — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 15:00:00 +0000

On the outskirts of Balcarce, a mountain range is interrupted by a precise void: a sharp cut in the slope, a missing piece that becomes a signal. The house takes this "bite" as its starting point and organizes all its material around that absence. More than an isolated object, it is conceived as a device for viewing: a heavy roof that aligns with the silhouette of the mountain range and establishes, in the foreground, a new geometry from which to reinterpret the landscape.

When Eating Becomes Spatial: 14 Projects Built Around Shared Meals

Daniela Andino — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 04:00:00 +0000

In recent years, food has taken on a renewed role within architecture, not simply as a program or typology, but as a shared spatial practice. Beyond restaurants or dining design, communal eating spaces are increasingly understood as environments where presence, ritual, and time intersect, allowing people to gather, stay, and coexist. In these settings, eating does not just happen within space; it actively shapes it, temporarily transforming ordinary, borrowed, or improvised environments into places of exchange.

Concón House / Osvaldo Larrain + Tomás Tironi

Valentina Díaz — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 15:00:00 +0000

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood of an old resort that, cornered by the development of neighboring cities, has managed to maintain its atmosphere, warehouses, and dirt streets without sidewalks. The lowest point of the neighborhood is its square, and lower than the square is the house.

Beyond Private Dining: Exploring the Communal Table as Public Space Infrastructure

Susanna Moreira — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 07:30:00 +0000

The habit of sitting at the table and sharing a specific moment with other people has been present for centuries in the most diverse cultures. The Greek Symposium, Roman Convivium, Medieval Feasts and Banquets, and Parisian Salons are just a few examples of how this custom was historically built and has been relevant in social and political negotiations, intellectual discussions, and philosophical debates.

Overprovision: Exploring Purposefully Wasteful Spaces in Residential Design

Jonathan Yeung — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Overprovision can be seen as an architecture strategy through the lens of resilience—making spaces adaptable to changes, reinterpretations, and future needs. However, could overprovision also offer a productive lens for rethinking spatial design? Are there parallels in architectural theory or practice that align with this concept, as explored by notable figures in the discourse on space?

Marayui House / PBS arquitectos

Valentina Díaz — Sat, 23 Aug 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Casa Marayui is a vacation home located in the gated community of Marayui Country Club in the coastal area of Chapadmalal, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. It was designed with the requirement of accommodating multiple occupants for temporary stays, while also being able to withstand minimal maintenance.

Beyond the Dropped Ceiling: 10 Interior Projects for Making Services and Conduits Part of the Architecture

Jonathan Yeung — Sat, 16 Aug 2025 07:30:00 +0000

In contemporary interior architecture, service provisions—mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing—are almost always treated as elements to be concealed. Thickened wall cavities, extensive dropped ceilings, and, in regions where solid construction such as brick or concrete prevails, furred-out walls are routinely employed to hide these systems. This approach has become so normalized that it often forms the starting assumption for spatial planning, inherently constraining imagination and reducing the range of spatial possibilities. The priority shifts towards covering-up, rather than exploring how these systems might coexist visibly within a design language.

Exhibition “Ideas Fijas" / MATER + Cecilia Szalkowicz

Paula Pintos — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 15:00:00 +0000

The exhibition “Ideas Fijas” by artist Cecilia Szalkowicz, curated by Mariano Mayer, brings together photography, sculpture, and architecture in a single exhibition, working in collaboration with architects Leticia Virguez Lalli and Gabriel Huarte of Mater studio for the design and development of the piece.

Designing for Companionship: Reimagining Urban Life with Pets

Jonathan Yeung — Sun, 04 May 2025 07:30:00 +0000

Humans and pets have long shared a deep and inseparable bond—and today, how we live alongside them is becoming increasingly important. Beyond offering companionship, pets are now often regarded as life partners, providing powerful support for mental health and emotional well-being. Yet it is not only the emotional connection that matters: the way we design and curate spaces for cohabitation with them plays a critical role in shaping meaningful spatial relationships between humans and their animal companions.

"We See Difference as a Value and Uniqueness as a Catalyst for Collectivity." Get to Know the Work of BBOA – Balparda Brunel Oficina de Arquitectura

Paula Pintos — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 07:30:00 +0000

In recent years, the Argentine architectural field has been shaped by a group of young architects striving to create architecture that responds innovatively to contemporary needs and, above all, to local contexts. Adding their individual perspectives and interests, among them, we can highlight the work of architects Tomás Balparda and Fernando Brunel.

Installation Border-Crossing / AGENCIA TPBA + Clube + Pianca Arquitetura

Valeria Silva — Sat, 04 Jan 2025 07:00:00 +0000

In response to the 5th Edition of the Biennale Svizzera del Territorio open call “Back to the Future”, about notions of how architects could operate in a future shaped by a multitude of crises that seem unintelligible, we like to think an essential approach for architecture is to uphold its openness and inclusivity, thereby positioning itself as a mediator.

La Secreta House / Grimaldi - Nacht arquitectos

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 16:00:00 +0000

programmatic needs with the natural elements of the environment. The house adapts to the landscape, creating a fluid connection between the interior and exterior.

PINGA ÃO Store / Clube + Marc do Nascimento

Andreas Luco — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 14:00:00 +0000

As a result of a geometric interpretation of Oscar Niemeyer’s building, a metallic biombo–made of natural aluminum profiles and reused galvanized steel sheets–duplicates the store’s curvilinear window shop and reveals its construction through straight segments. Two openings and a mirror break up its regular structure. This device, responsible for displaying objects and clothing, acts as a mediator between the exterior and interior–offering privacy for those changing clothes, as a large dressing room in one of the busiest corners of downtown São Paulo.

PI Building / STGO

Andreas Luco — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 16:00:00 +0000

The Pi Building is on an unconventional and atypical plot in the city center of Rosario. Its name refers to its exceptionally narrow front, measuring only 3.14 meters.

JACÓ Restaurant / Clube + AGENCIA TPBA

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Jacó is a new fine dining and cocktail restaurant project in São Paulo, Brazil. Located in the Vila Madalena neighborhood, the restaurant occupies a conventional residential house built around the 1970s.

House in Front of the Park / atelier industrial

Andreas Luco — Fri, 05 Jul 2024 07:00:00 +0000

The residence is situated facing Hipólito Yrigoyen Park, the largest and main park in the city of San Rafael. Its composition is achieved through the articulation of two volumes; the first, more prominent, adopts a grid structure of 6 x 6 meters, containing all the essential functions of a home.
