House Dalvian in Mendoza, Argentina

March 16, 2010 Category: House, Residential

Located in Mendoza, Argentina, the House Dalvian was designed by Federico Inchauspe, Estudio Arquitectos Asociados. The house appears in its habitat in a poetic way, prevailing the sense of space and the scale value. It moves away from certain conventions and re-discovers the sense of its permanency. Defined by two horizontal planes, floor and roof, with a geometric rigor and constructive elegance, containing a space of austere character. The house proposes to ignore the topography and the relations with the context.

The top plane repeats itself with the plane of floor to be liberated of any representative destiny and to be distinguished from the formal excesses that prevails in its surroundings. The strategy is founded on a constructive logic that assumes the architectural work of proposing without metaphorical allusions, dealing to the architecture like an art of representing exclusively the constructive process.
