R House by Estudio GMARQ
R House sets an assertive profile in Pilar, Argentina, where Estudio GMARQ translates a large family’s ambitions into a disciplined house on a tight plot. The project organizes social life at grade, recreation and storage underground, and service rooms around planted courtyards, turning constraints of land and program into a clear three-level arrangement. Everyday routines stay compact, yet each zone gains light, air, and a sense of measured expansion.
The design of this house located in Pilar is a product of the conflict between an extensive program for a large family and a limited size of land. With these requirements and conditions, from the beginning a buried level was projected to contain part of the program, especially the recreation areas, a large storage space and technical places. The ground floor has a conventional design and the high floor has service rooms that are qualified by generous green courtyards that oxygenate, illuminate and expand them.
