The Polo House was conceived in a wide lot that acts as the ending of a series of lots located in front of a polo field, in Pilar, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
A privileged location in front of the field, facing north. A field that continuously hosts tournaments that owners want to contemplate with their family and friends.
Bearing in mind the proposal, we decided to build both architecture and landscape simultaneously. Generating a house which roofs are a hundred per cent trafficable and that transform into a three-dimensional garden, connecting all the architectural floors and, at the same time, work as a stand towards the field.
That is why a series of ramps arise from the field level, going up and connecting all the levels, leaving aside the differences between levels. The limits of two floors and one roof do not exist anymore. Vertical limits are blurred; levels are connected, taking its residents in a subtle way to the green roof in a park of their own that acts as a viewpoint to the best visuals.
The Polo House is a project where the architectural tour plays a decisive role, taking into account the usual and occasional users, to whom a show is provided, not just a static image, but a series of images that overlap and where each frame of the scene has been thought out.
