Villa Rosa, Pilar, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
About this story
Los Tigres is a 187-square-metre country house in Villa Rosa, Pilar, on a property beside the Luján River. Prim Estudio’s project page identifies it as a 2022 house. The selected Dezeen report describes a low-slung white house raised on a rough-hewn stone base, with load-bearing aerated-concrete block walls, red-toned timber window frames, insulation panels and a corrugated zinc roof. An inset balcony sits within the asymmetrical roofline. The plan is organized along an east–west axis; the studio extended the southern wall as a windbreak. A large segmental-arch window, smaller porthole windows, a loft and a north-facing terrace establish views toward the surrounding plain. The house includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and covered patios, including an open-air area that also serves as a garage and barbecue space.

Design highlights
The studio frames the project around a heavy, grounded, stereotomic expression and landscape contemplation. A lowered arch frames the horizon; the raised base responds to the reported seasonal flooding, while the extended south wall addresses wind. An asymmetrical zinc roof incorporates a balcony, and multiple openings and outdoor spaces provide distinct viewing points.
