Casa Comarcas, Argentina – Buenos Aires Property
Located on a 10,000 sq. m. plot in Capilla del Señor, Casa GRI emerges as a pure expression of horizontality within the vast, flat landscape of the Argentine pampas. With a total built area of 250 sq. m., the project is resolved entirely on a single level, emphasizing a direct connection to the land while exploring an architecture that engages with its surroundings through simple yet powerful gestures.
Inspired by the expansive character of the pampas, the design features a flat roof that serves as a suspended plane parallel to the ground. This element not only unifies the entire program but also connects seamlessly to the terrain through a gentle and functional transition: bleachers that subtly “anchor” the roof to the ground. These bleachers act as a bridge between levels and as a celebration of the owner’s passion for sports, doubling as seating areas for outdoor activities such as horseback riding and football, in a space designed to enhance these experiences.
The program’s layout seeks comfort and a connection to its environment, orienting all spaces to the north to maximize natural light and views. Internal courtyards not only divide functional areas but also bring in daylight and foster cross-ventilation, creating a pleasant microclimate within. The house achieves a balance between intimacy and openness, seamlessly integrating the landscape with the living spaces.
The project reflects a profound commitment to sustainability, embracing strategies that integrate design, functionality, and respect for the environment. The green roof not only provides thermal insulation but also restores the constructed surface to the landscape, blending the architecture with its natural surroundings. North-facing spaces, combined with strategically designed overhangs and internal courtyards, optimize natural light and regulate solar gain, reducing reliance on artificial systems.
Additionally, cross-ventilation ensures an efficient and comfortable indoor environment, minimizing the need for mechanical climate control. Complementing these strategies, the natural swimming pool is designed as a self-sustaining ecosystem, eliminating the use of chemicals and optimizing water consumption. This holistic approach positions Casa GRI as a contemporary and responsible response to today’s environmental and energy challenges.
The immediate surroundings are shaped with an ecosystem-focused landscaping approach, prioritizing native species that respect and enhance the pampas’ natural environment. This design not only ensures low maintenance and sustainability but also reinforces the continuity between architecture and nature.
