natural beauty

Designed by ATV Architects the Marino House is immersed among the woods in Pinamar an Argentine coastal resort town. Respecting its environment and taking advantage of the views, the house tries to preserve and adopt to its surroundings by employing a heady mix of concrete and wood. The concrete shell defines the space with its dimension and textural differences, at the same time creating what appears to be limitless space.

The use custom joinery softens the utilitarian concrete walls and floors giving soul and a gentle nod to the wooded forest. The rawness of the concrete and wood complete the decoration via natural textures and pattern.
