The Piñeiro house, designed by the architectural Argentine Adamo-Faiden is the result of wanting to improve overall waste those areas on the roofs of buildings and as taught in the landscape of the city at that level. Generating an open space with a very simple program or simply materiality that aims to improve what already exists without being a focus of attention.
Description of the project by Adamo Faiden Arquitectos
There is a new surface made of isolated enclosures in the air. They are house tops and service terraces, the infrastructural residues of the buildings that rule the Buenos Aires landscape. These spaces are privileged places. When we conquer them, we are able to perch on the edge of the city, in contact with the atmosphere. Downwards the pulsing street, and upwards the vast sky, the geographical incident that domains this new stratum. There we settle nimbly, in need of nothing else but the desire of being part of both worlds. Towards the interior of the pavilion, we built an environment that filtrates and selects those stimuli that inform it, which sets it up in the world without it meaning to give up autonomy. A system of awnings and a perimeter garden wrap around the metal structure that holds both the vertical glass panels and a light cover. Its two rooms allow different relationships with the weather and the uses that its varieties provide.
