The Hedonistic Little House is an expansion and remodeling project of a PH (horizontal property) in Buenos Aires, designed by Fabrizio Pugliese Arquitectos + Ohio Estudio for an artist and writer. The intervention stems from the decision to preserve the existing structure of the dwelling, maintaining its material and spatial footprint as a starting point for the transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

From the outset, the team decided to maintain the existing house, preserving its original character. The original brick walls were left exposed, and the pine woodwork was restored. A tubular metal structure was designed over the existing building, creating the new square footage and giving rise to a new home.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

During the design process, the owner presented the work<\/span>A Bigger Splash<\/span><\/i>by David Hockney. From this, a specific color palette was constructed for each space and situation. The project understood color not as a superficial intervention, but as a spatial logic that accompanied the experience of inhabiting the space.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What comes to mind when we talk about inhabiting a space? How does the body unfold in space and transform it into a home? The home appears as the microcosm of each person. Here, the dematerialization of standardized preconceptions about domestic spaces was explored: inhabiting was stripped of its labels and redefined in each exchange with the person who would live there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

On the ground floor, the typical courtyard of the PH (horizontal property) was restored and transformed into a green space where the vertical circulation was developed. The spiral staircase, located under a transparent roof, connected the different levels and flooded the interior with natural light, maintaining the visual connection with the sky and taking advantage of the site's orientation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The sky-blue kitchen faces the patio and acts as a link between the interior and the semi-covered space, allowing cooking without losing the visual and social connection with the garden.

On the intermediate floor were a bedroom with access to the green terrace, a laundry room, and a full bathroom in light blue and ochre tones. This bathroom was connected by a conduit to the sleeping area on the upper level, allowing dirty laundry to be deposited without having to go downstairs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

On the top floor, an intimate space was designed comprising the master bedroom, bathroom, and office. The design eschewed the standard bedroom layout, instead creating a dedicated "sleeping space": the bed as an object, articulated with a cylindrical volume that housed the more private elements of the bathroom. The bathtub was positioned beneath an oculus surrounded by vegetation, allowing bathers to gaze at the sky.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The desk was oriented towards the green terrace and garden. The entire space was unified by a pink unit that integrated wardrobes, a main sink area, a bookcase, and a reading seat. This level could be fully opened or closed off to the covered patio, receiving natural light throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
