Patagonian House

Additional Info

Award Winner : Ruca Panel

Architectural Excellence : One single volume is the concept we followed to build this house located in a farm outside of Añelo, Neuquén, Argentina. We created a unique single space all surrounded by big windows - to perform as a kitchen, living room and dinner room good enough to bring maximum daylight, as well as a magnificent Patagonic landscape to enjoy from the inside.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : The construction schedule was reduced as much as 80% against other alternative building systems and thus we save significant costs in labor, mobilization and demobilization. By using eco-friendly materials and special design, we maximize daylight entrance to minimize electrical lighting usage.
