Elegant modern residence by Estudio Montevideo architecture

The modern residence dubbed El Bosque was created in Argentina by a bold and reconfigurable design by architecture firm Estudio Montevideo. The project takes its name from its location in the Córdoba neighborhood in El Bosque Country. Defined by an elongated horizontal volume, the house is formed by a simple structure consisting of two concrete slabs, which hold the structure together and cover the façade system of sliding wooden screens.

This operable facade allows the open interior to spill out onto the sunlit courtyard and swimming pool. Still, the house presents itself modestly from the street, concealing living spaces that stretch out through its footprints rather than its volumetric forms.

The architects at Estudio Montevideo have carefully selected just two primary materials, concrete and wood, to shape El Bosque House. This combination offers a perfect balance of sobriety, warmth, and simplicity, contributing to the overall charm of the residence. The use of wooden slats on the walls not only enhances spatial continuity but also cleverly conceals access to the rooms and service areas, with a backdrop of illuminated concrete walls.

A distinctive feature of El Bosque House is its thoughtful consideration by Estudio Montevideo of climatic conditions and the needs of its residents. A side entrance path leading to the courtyard invites visitors towards the heart of the house.

The layout includes three programmatic volumes — the first accommodating services and leisure spaces, the second serving as the large social area with integrated living, dining, and kitchen spaces, and the third housing the bedrooms and playroom.

Estudio Montevideo’s emphasis on the integration of nature and architecture is evident throughout El Bosque House. The large side facade, enveloped in wooden slats, opens up to the north, taking full advantage of natural light and creating mesmerizing interplays of light and shadows inside. On the southern side, a protective concrete facade houses strategically placed skylights to ensure the whole house is bathed in natural illumination.

The result is a unified space where the boundaries between indoors and outdoors are obscured, offering the residents an uninterrupted connection with the outdoors. The swimming pool becomes the focal point of the courtyard, with its infinite edges creating a mirror-like scene. Meanwhile, a lush interior courtyard further enhances this natural relationship between the living spaces.
