BAM! Arquitectura produces a compact mixed-material home near Buenos Aires, Argentina for a "golf-loving businessman." The composition of the structure is by far the most striking thing about the building. The house boasts two volumes, stacked on top of each other. The materials that BAM! Arquitectura utilized elegantly contrast, providing some division in a uniform composition. Both rectangularly shaped, the top is painted white and the bottom is clad in concrete. The two volumes are slightly off-set, producing a visual highlight. The muted color palette compliments the surrounding rural landscape.
The mixed-material home is largely centered around providing privacy for its residents. Therefore, the front is quite closed off, while the back boasts ample amounts of windows that reveal a quaint scenery.
