这座140平方米的城市房屋位于布宜诺斯艾利斯市Villa Devoto住宅区的一条小街巷里，被称为 “la blanqueada”。它的名字不仅来自于它所在的通道，也来自于它的墙壁的颜色–blanqueada意味着白色–。La Blanqueada的诞生是一个复杂的项目，原来的房子被发现处于非常糟糕的状态，只有某些元素可以保留。此外，由于该地块位于拐角处，面积为8.66米×12.70米，因此完全处于黑暗之中。
This particular urban house of 140m2 is located in a small street passage called “la blanqueada”, in a residential area of Villa Devoto, Buenos Aires City. Its name comes not only from the passage where it’s located but also from the color of its walls -blanqueada means whitened-. La Blanqueada was born as a complex project, the original house was found in very bad condition, counting with only certain elements to preserve. In addition, being the lot right before the corner and of a bare surface of 8,66m x 12,70m, the darkness was complete.
由于它的高度和温度，仿古砖拱顶变成了需要保护的主要元素。房屋空间的布置突出了这个元素，它被准确地定义为公共和团聚区。在这个Pont，设计的主要前提变成了现代和古老之间的对话，保留了房子的部分历史并产生了新的特殊故事。
Because of its height and warmth, the antique brick vault turned into the main element to preserve. The house spaces were disposed to highlight this element, which was accurately defined to be the public and reunion area. At this Pont, the main premise of design became the dialog between the modern and the old, keeping part of the history of the house and generating new special stories.
原来的房子只有一个小前院作为扩展和日光来源。因此，所有的内部空间都非常黑暗。新项目将这个院子扩大了几米，几乎占据了整个地块的长度。房子变成了一个L形，新的空地允许绿色出现，一个城市游泳池和一个户外餐厅。
The original house only had a small front yard as an expansion and daylight source. As a result, all the interiors were very dark. The new project extended this yard several meters, occupying almost the total length of the lot. The house was turned into an L shape, and the new empty space allowed the green to emerge, an urban pool, and an outdoor dining room.
房子的所有房间都朝向东北方向，向新的开放空间开放，并利用了日光的入口。地面层的边界由于连续的玻璃支架而变得模糊，产生了一个完整的室内外一体化，并重新创造了一个更大的空间。房屋底部的一个木制立方体解决了服务区：厨房、厕所和清洁。再加上一个集成的酒吧。在上楼梯的时候，一个新的城市规模的天井出现了，给流通区域带来了光和绿色。这个天井中的螺旋楼梯将你带到露台，这是房子的第三个也是最后一个扩展部分。鉴于该地区的规模较小，它可以看到城市的大视野。
All the rooms of the house are orientated to the Northeast, opening to the new open space and taking advantage of the entrance of daylight. The boundaries of the ground floor are diffuse due to the continuous glass carpentries, generating a complete indoor-outdoor integration, and recreating a bigger space. A wooden cube at the bottom of the house solves the service area: kitchen, toilet, and cleaning. Together with an integrated bar. While going up the stairs, a new urban-scale patio appears, bringing light and green to the circulation area. A spiral staircase in this patio takes you to the terrace, the third and last expansion of the house. Given the small scale of the neighborhood, it counts with large views of the city.
白色金属板–除了作为安全围栏–形成了一个连续的网状结构，将不同的一楼项目整合到外墙中。在打开或关闭它们时，产生了一种可笑的活力，房子也随之变异。La Blanqueada “的改造将一个黑暗的紧凑的房子变成了一个充满不同效果的光影、材料、天井和高度的房子。这些干预措施给家庭的日常生活带来了活力，并产生了大量的特殊情况，塑造了每个房间的使用。
Metal white panels -beyond acting as a security fence- form a continuous mesh that integrates the different first-floor programs in the facade. While opening or closing them, a ludic dynamism is generated and the house mutates. The renovation of “La Blanqueada” turned a dark compact house into a house full of different effects of lights and shadows, materials, patios, and heights. These interventions brought dynamism to the family´s daily living and generated a great variety of special situations that mold the use of every room.
