Nirvana House by AtelierM fuses Nature and Architecture in Pilar

 

Nirvana House by AtelierM presents a residential space seamlessly blending with its natural context, located in Pilar, Buenos Aires, adjacent to a Polo field. The design concept revolves around topographical integration, shaping a three-level garden that intertwines with the architecture, offering a distinctive living experience. Inspired by total immersion in nature, the house features gentle curves and fluid lines that harmonize with the terrain and surrounding greenery. Concrete and wood are chosen for their durability and ability to age gracefully, ensuring a sustainable coexistence with the environment. The layout comprises two main levels: the ground floor for public spaces and the upper floor for private areas.

three-level garden blends interior and exterior spaces

 

Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas on the ground level maximize connectivity with the outdoors through expansive windows and sliding doors. The three-level garden extends seamlessly from floor to ceiling, blending interior and exterior spaces and providing panoramic views of the polo field. On the upper level, bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, with serene vistas of the landscape. A central water pond enhances the connection to nature, reflecting natural light and fostering a sense of tranquility. Sustainability is a core principle, with passive design strategies maximizing natural light and ventilation while minimizing environmental impact. Low-maintenance materials like concrete and wood contribute to the house’s timeless aesthetic and ecological ethos. AtelierM‘s Nirvana House showcases the relationship between architecture and the natural world through thoughtful design and sustainable practices.
