This house, located on a ranch north of Punta del Este in the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, is positioned as an object resting in the landscape.


Without hiding its physiognomy, it seeks to be the most systemic companion for a bucolic and horizontal landscape. The gabled roof recognizes the typical image of a house, but its longitudinal arrangement redefines this concept.


Conceived as a large roof, the program is organized axially within. A large central space concentrates the public area, with the bedrooms to the right and the services to the left. A large horizontal window runs the entire length of the back, connecting each space with the horizon.


In terms of construction, the house maintains its idea of being as simple and unobtrusive on the territory as possible. A system of punctual supports sustains a series of consecutive and modulated portals that support the roof and enclosure structure. These elements develop in absolute continuity, enveloping the skeleton and creating a large horizontal opening to the rear.

Esta casa, ubicada en una chacra al norte de Punta del Este, en la República Oriental del Uruguay, se dispone como un objeto apoyado en el paisaje.


Sin ocultar su fisonomía busca ser la compañía más sistémica para un paisaje bucólico y horizontal.


El techo a dos aguas reconoce la imagen típica de la casa, pero su disposición longitudinal, resignifica este concepto.


Pensada como una gran cubierta, el programa se organiza en su interior de manera axial. Un gran espacio central concentra el área pública y a su derecha dispone las habitaciones y a la izquierda los servicios.


Un gran ventanal horizontal recorre toda la longitud del fondo para vincular cada ambiente con el horizonte.


Constructivamente la casa, mantiene su idea de ser lo más simple y lo menos posesiva del territorio, un sistema de apoyos untuales soporta una serie de pórticos consecutivos y modulados que dan soporte a la estructura de cubierta y cerramiento, que se desarrollan en continuidad absoluta, envolviendo el esqueleto y liberando un gran vano horizontal al contrafrente.
