Covered Surface: 224 square meters

For this project, a very small countryside house surrounded by the Balcarce Mountains was extended and renovated. The request was to design a weekend leisure house for a large family.
For that purpose we focused on the design of a large living-dining room where big meetings could be held and which was located in front of a wide solarium and pool. Another design objective was to keep the colonial style tile roof, therefore the pre-existing pitches had to be kept. In time, the tile color of both roof was unified.
The house has a master bedroom, dressing room and private bathroom. It also has two other bedrooms which share another bathroom. There is a kitchen, a toilet, a laundry room, a partially covered garage and a wide corridor, which is the access to the house and from which all rooms can be entered.
