BAK Arquitectos Casa JD

Date: July 5, 2014

‘Casa JD’ by argentinian practice BAK arquitectos (maria victoria besonias, guillermo de almeida, luciano kruk) is a two bedroom residence situated on a lush and sloped site in mar azul, buenos aires, argentina. an intersecting composition of two perpendicular rectangular volumes, the design generates a spacious communal area that is interspersedly defined by strips of transparency, directly linking the interior to the forest beyond.
Utilizing the strong topography of the land, the structure partially conceals its presence within a small clearing in the woods. as much of the forestry was preserved during the construction process, with a balcony platform wrapping around existing trees. the finish of the concrete facade results in a highly textual aesthetic that does not take away from the natural elements of the site. In contrast to the heaviness of the material, horizontally running bands of windows have been sliced out of the surface to maintain a level of lightness to the structure.
Spacious and multifunctional, the communal area rests at the junction of the two prism forms, utilizing the extra vertical space created from the overlap. the slightly private nooks created at the extremities of the layout become a kitchen/bar, lounge, and living space. elevated windows situated at different elevations and directions generate an added sense of depth in addition to making the natural backdrop of the site an integral element to the living atmosphere.

    Por lo que hace al tema de la protección visual, piensa que en una parcela de 600 m2, en la cual la casa esta bien retirada no te importaría demasiado ya que sería casi nulo el nivel de percepción detallado.

    Me parece un gran trabajo de planteamiento y replanteo por el tema de introducir parte de ese bosque dentro de la casa, haciendo su relación con el entorno aun mejor.

    No soy arquitecto asi que ya me disculpareis por mi falta de critica arquitectonica sobre sosteniblidad o logica constructiva y esas cosas que escribe la gente por aqui pero a mi esta casa me parece una gran obra, seguro que el lugar ayuda, pero es muy bonita y vienen ganas de vivir cada espacio 🙂

    Solo una cosa que no me gusta, quizas demasiadas ventanas? Hay muchas y yo me sentiria un poco expuesto, aparte que me gusta la oscuridad para dormir, no se que haria en una noche de luna llena!

    Me gusta mucho este blog, lo seguire!
