The versatility of the Estudio Montevideo's homes comes from the space with hardly any divisions and the abundant lighting. The interior, with carefully selected materials, only has a single vertical division, a second floor that is not complete, producing a double height in the kitchen-dining area.

The reddish colours of the brick, the greys of the concrete, the greens of the gardens and the black of the details are the range of colours that define these unique homes. The huge window is responsible for opening the space to the outside, without affecting the privacy inside, since the views to the interior of the house are from the patio.

Description of project by Estudio Montevideo

The distinctive feature of Valpo lies in the redesign of the "loft" concept. A new way of life and another way of living in the outskirts of the city. In its typology, we generated flexible and fluid spaces and gave rise to a double-height kitchen. 

A giant window connects to the patio of each loft with grill and oven area. Its proportions allow abundant lighting that highlights the authentic materialities of its interior.

With Valpo we seek to highlight the evolution of the apartment towards more versatile and spacious spaces. These sets of lofts seek to identify and differentiate themselves from each other through their materiality, contrasting the warmth of brick and the clarity of concrete. In their geometries and joint strength, we merge morphology, harmony and aesthetics in peace with the surrounding environment. Valpo Lofts offers a distinctive living experience for a young public in search of innovative experiences.
