Riberas Clubhouse, Argentina

Casa Dos Patios
In the new city of Puertos, where expansive lakes, native landscapes, and a deep connection with nature define its identity, each neighborhood is designed with a community clubhouse. However, these structures are often repetitive, regardless of their specific setting, the character of their residents, or their potential to offer something unique.

When invited to design the clubhouse for Riberas, one of the newest neighborhoods in Puertos, we accepted the commission on one condition: the building must meaningfully engage with both its natural surroundings and its community.

Riberas is designed for young families and sits between open skies and the calm shores of a prominent lake. The site, located at the lake’s edge, offered a compelling opportunity. Early in the design process, we saw that by slightly elevating ourselves, we could capture rare views of both adjacent lakes—an experience seldom available in the area.

From the outset, we aimed to keep the intervention as light and integrated as possible. Rather than introducing a visually dominant or high-impact structure, we pursued a solution that would blend naturally with the site.

The result is an elevated plaza that merges seamlessly with the terrain—a space for yoga at sunrise, casual strolls, or quiet moments with panoramic views. The planted roof folds down into the site to create a gently sloping ramp that encourages interaction and movement between ground and roof.

The architectural expression is defined by a simple, continuous concrete structure that curves organically to meet the ground. These flowing forms allow the building to settle naturally into the landscape while supporting the green roof above.

The concrete shell serves as both structure and surface—robust and expressive, yet sensitive to the site’s natural character. This approach eliminates the need for hard boundaries and reinforces the building’s low-impact ethos, blurring the line between architecture and landform.

Beyond the building, the program includes tennis courts and a football field. Rather than separating these active areas with fencing or hedges, we introduced a series of sculpted, grass-covered berms.

These green mounds act as informal seating, playgrounds, and gathering spaces—creating a playful, soft threshold that supports community life while reinforcing the landscape-led vision of Puertos.

This is more than a clubhouse—it’s a shared living room for the neighborhood. A place where birthdays are celebrated, neighbors meet, and the rhythms of everyday life unfold through spontaneous encounters. It fosters connection—with nature, with others, and with a shared sense of place.

The internal layout is clear and flexible. One side of the building houses a dedicated event room that can be reserved for private celebrations, community gatherings, or neighborhood functions.

This robust, adaptable space acts as a social anchor for Riberas. On the other side, separated by a central circulation core, a more informal lounge invites everyday use. Designed for casual gatherings, relaxed conversations, or even as an informal coworking space, it offers soft seating, abundant natural light, and strong visual ties to the outdoors.

Together, these spaces support both structured events and unplanned daily moments, reinforcing the clubhouse’s role as a true extension of the community—thoughtfully embedded in its landscape and everyday life.

We were drawn to the idea that architecture could play an active role in fostering community—that if the space was engaging and inviting enough, it could naturally bring people together. A place where children could meet and form friendships, and where parents might connect and build relationships within this new neighborhood.

For us, the true challenge wasn’t just designing a building—it was helping to cultivate a sense of belonging. Today, the clubhouse exceeds even our highest hopes. It has become the most actively used clubhouse in Puertos and now stands as a reference point for future developments in the city.
