BAK arquitectos designed and constructed a summer house in the forest of Mar Azul, Argentina.

An outer skin made only by two materials -concrete and glass–resolves the integration with the landscape and the formal, structural and functional issues apart from the facades and the maintenance. It was required the basic needs of a summer house: two bedrooms, one with private bathroom, an integrated kitchen and places to be outdoors.

The project was undertaken as an opportunity to propose shapes, materials and alternative uses, in harmony with that particular environment. The search was then oriented towards a purposeful architecture of a more relaxed housing and whose materiality and formalization was the result of a desire for belonging to that pre-existing reality.

Except the beds, couches and chairs, the rest of the equipment of this house is solved in concrete.
