Argentinian house from 1938
The Argentine studio Torrado Arquitectos has renovated a historic house from 1938. Designed by Alberto Rodriguez Etchetoc, the building is located in one of the districts of Buenos Aires - Barrio Parque.
The main goal of the architects was to interfere with the original appearance of the villa as little as possible. As for the functional plan, new bedrooms were added and work rooms were moved. There are two staircases in the house: both have a spiral staircase, one is stone and the other is wooden.
In the interior, it is worth paying attention to the historical stucco that adds character to the whole. Even when the walls were moved, the original decorations were kept: for example in the kitchen, where a glass was inserted at the top - so as to preserve the historical cornice.
Wooden furniture and marble elements perfectly fit into the character of the interior. As the architect says, two wooden buildings are new: a kitchen and a dressing room. The remaining cabinets are the result of a renovation.
An arched door opens onto the garden with a terrace and a small swimming pool. The dressing room is dominated by wood, which is combined with the limestone used in the bathroom.
The herringbone floor in the living room contrasts with the modernist furniture that refers to the history of the building.
