We were asked to project and build a 300 m2 warehouse with an administrative sector and possibly a house on an area which is reaching a new commercial, industrial and service height on National Route 226, close to the access of the city of Balcarce.

The place had to be planned with the flexibility that is required by a place for rent without a specific use. At the beginning, the client wanted to install a garden center to commercialize plants for urban and rural woodland. This is how we came up with the idea of holding a roof sector of the administrative area with a trunk of Pinus Lambertiana, which was obtained thanks to the felling of a nearby field.

We generated protections through a cantilevered gallery that accentuated the accessible fronts and that marked the way towards the main access.

We sought to intensify the natural lightening and air circulation of the interiors of the administrative building through a series of skylights, which we called “chimneys” and which gave rhythm and flair to the whole and to the accessible roof. The white sheet warehouse contrasts with the green of its surroundings.
