The house, Los Cerezos, is located in San Carlos de Bariloche in Agentinean Patagonia. It is a touristic city located in the national park Nahuel Huapi and was founded around 1895 by German immigrants.
The architect Alejandro Bustillo to the years 1935-1945 finished outlining the architectural image of the city, building a lot of public facilities.
Los Cerezos, was the first house by G2 Estudio in the Argentinean Patagonia, This one try to explore and give new answers to the classic typology of mountain houses, having to face not only hard but also comic situations for the acceptance, approval and implementation of the project.
After much discussion, hunts and good wines with the owner, we decided to reinterpret the concept of a “shelter-home” for him and his family.
The set point was to realize a house with define uses: public and private, cores grouped in recreation activities without disturbing the family privacy. The way they are used to live define that would be a wide and warm solaz-room, comfort to all the public activities, where they can sit in front of the fire, drink an appetizer or simply enjoy the landscape listening to music, reading, or playing snooker in the mezzanine with friends after a good hunt.
Finally, the house is the result of a long process of understanding and building design with the customer, his preferences, expectations and dreams, because that is what architecture is about.
