besonias almeida adds private pavilion to buenos aires house

local-based architecture studio besonias almeida arquitectos was commissioned to add a pavilion to an already existing house in buenos aires, argentina. the idea behind this inclusion was to realize a new space, isolated from the activity of the principal house and generating more relaxed functions. a strong connection with nature was also intended as well as both visual and auditive privacy while maintaining a comfortable feeling in both winter and summer.

the client asked besonias almeida arquitectos to place the pavilion the farthest away from the house, next to the evergreen trees sector on the lot. when facing such a landscape, the studio decided to incorporate it into the design, by adding floor-to-ceiling windows that let the views flow all around. the brief program also requested an outdoor bath and a small warehouse.

‘starting from successive folds of the concrete enclosure, we managed to give this small building sufficient visual and audio privacy in relation to its surroundings, and thus to fulfill the request for a space to facilitate the realization of quiet activities and introspection,’ comments maría victoria besonías. ‘this feature also allowed defining an expansion that is extended to join the landscape, highlighting the access to both the bathroom and the multipurpose space, and leaving the warehouse hidden.’
