LaBase House by Alric Galindez Arq
LaBase House is a house in San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, by Alric Galindez Arq. Set on a sloping, tree-lined plot, it reads as a mountain refuge shaped around gathering and long views. A wooden volume rests on the terrain, while a sunken approach and a double-height social core give the house a clear sense of arrival and sequence.
About LaBase House
LaBase House sits on a sloping plot where the ground falls from the front toward the back, with trees around it and open views in both directions. The house reads as a wooden box set on the terrain, a simple figure against the surrounding landscape.
Access arrives by way of a path that sinks into the ground, turning entry into a slow shift from openness to enclosure. Inside, the plan is organized around gathering, with a sunken fireplace, living area, dining area, and kitchen forming one social zone.
The upper floor holds the bedrooms, linked by a linear corridor that overlooks the double-height common area below. That corridor also extends the rooms, giving the upper level a direct relationship to the life of the floor beneath it.
At ground level, the house opens to the garden and draws the golf course into view, so the interior stays visually connected to the site. In front, the raised bedrooms look toward Mount Catedral above the neighboring houses, while the whole composition works as a frame for shared time and daily connection.
