About SL House

Designing with a Lakeside Vision

Situated on an irregular lot, the house boasts an unmatched lake view. Accordingly, we placed the social hub – comprising the living room, dining area, and kitchen – on the ground floor. A column-free gallery frames this picturesque setting, ensuring a seamless inside-outside connection.

Balancing Privacy and Aesthetics

On the same level, solid volumes conceal service areas. They serve as visual barriers, providing essential privacy. Above them, a singular concrete structure houses the private quarters on the first floor. Here too, residents enjoy a splendid landscape view.

Pioneering Sustainable Energy Solutions

Our dedication extended to exploring sustainable energy avenues. After scrutinizing the site and analyzing Argentina’s available systems, we championed two approaches. Firstly, we proposed electricity generation via wind turbines, with energy storage in batteries. Secondly, solar collectors came into play for water heating and home warmth.

Provoking Thought for the Future

We recognize the vast potential in this domain. Thus, we pose two intriguing questions: Imagine if every home generated its electricity – what’s the broader implication for the national grid? And, how would our urban landscapes transform aesthetically with widespread adoption of wind turbines and solar collectors?
