Located in a coastal forest, 1km away from the Atlantic Ocean, in Uruguay, the Sociedad de Mar residential is a group of dwellings that seeks to install an alternative tourism model on the immediate periphery of one of the most exclusive seaside resorts: Jose Ignacio, Uruguay.

The studio based in Buenos Aires Adamo-Faiden Arquitectos has built this residential complex in which the use of reinforced concrete has been the protagonist.Elaborated in situ by only five workers, each house has small variations that make them unique. This feature, together with its position on the plot, generates a dialogue with the pre-existing conditions of the place: the trees. A proposal that reflects the tradition of exceptional developments such as "Punta Ballena" by Antonio Bonet Castellana in the Uruguayan coast.

Description of the project by Adamo-Faiden Arquitectos

20 dwellings that share a pool and a multipurpose pavilion are distributed regularly spaced within a plot of about 60 square meters side by side, trying to reproduce the way in which the trees that surround them are installed. A very limited set of materials, space and organizational variables eventually outline a new species that seeks to coexist with all of those who already cohabited the forest.

Each one of the buildings is positioned on the ground without changing the qualities of the soil that it is not used. For this purpose, two ways to access the dwellings are projected. In the upper area of the ground a private patio precedes every house while the lower part the access is through an air patio. The formal alternation that these both patios typologies propose, allows to test a dialogue with the existing trees, while characterizing transversal circulations. Conversely, three parallel gaps to the glen diagonally intersect the grouping, offering an intermediate scale between the forest and dwellings. The use of reinforced concrete made on site extends to all buildings by a horizontal pattern, sized from job possibilities of a group of five workers. The resulting texture sets out the specific perforations to each one of the dwellings, always different and always similar to each other.
