Felipe Gonzalez Arzac在阿根廷首都布宜诺斯艾利斯省的省会城市拉普拉塔完成了这座住宅。
A plant-filled courtyard and a long swimming pool feature behind the board-marked concrete walls of this residence in La Plata, Argentina, designed by local architect Felipe Gonzalez Arzac.
Felipe Gonzalez Arzac completed Casa Closed in a residential area of La Plata – the capital city of Buenos Aires Province – called City Bell.
From the street, the residence has a severe exterior comprised of concrete walls textured by the imprints of wooden boards. This result is known as board-marked concrete.
Inside, the 190-square-metre home opens up around a central courtyard. Glazing wraps the yard offering views of the greenery and plenty of natural light.
Felipe Gonzalez Arzac在项目描述中说：“建筑外立面和内部的开窗给人一种强烈的视觉对比，一开始你会觉得内部应该是一个黑暗的盒子，不会与外部产生如此多的互动。”
“然而，进入房屋时你会感到惊喜，因为它有着中央大庭院。”
"Its totally blind facade and its open sides give a particular visual impact, generating the sensation of being a completely dark house inside, without much connection with the outside," said Felipe Gonzalez Arzac in a project description.
"However, it is the opposite effect that is generated when entering the house, which is decomposed and perforated almost entirely with a large courtyard as a compositional center," the studio continued.
"Both create a home that generates two very opposite situations, one from the outside and a very different inside," it added.
The central patio is joined by a smaller yard cut out of the front corner of the one-storey residence to form the main entrance. This leads into an L-shaped volume that wraps around central patio.
在建筑后面有开放式厨房、起居室和餐室。滑动玻璃们沿着建筑的后墙延伸，通向后花园的游泳池。
An open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is placed to the rear of the house. Sliding glass doors also run along the rear wall of the property and open up to a long swimming pool in the back garden.
Inside, the outer, board-marked concrete walls are left exposed, while partition walls are painted white. Concrete flooring completes the pared-back aesthetic.
A host of pale wooden furniture and greenery offers pops of interest to the simple aesthetic. In the kitchen and dining area this includes a white counter, stools for casual dining, and the main dining table and chairs.
House plants fill a wooden bookshelf that separates these spaces from the living room. In here, the wood-framed large window to the garden is accompanied by translucent white curtains to offer shade in strong sunlight.
Other details include leather chairs and a pale, rough rug.
卧室、浴室和第二个休息区位于建筑的前侧，使用者只需通过几步台阶就可以到大厨房。
整座住宅的天花板高度是一致的，这意味着卧室的净高较低。建筑师说，这是为空间创造了更加私密的感觉。
The bedroom, bathroom, and a second lounge area are located towards the front of the house. These spaces are accessed via a few small steps from the kitchen.
The overall ceiling height is consistent throughout the low-level home, meaning that the bedrooms have slightly less clearance. According to the architect, this creates a more private feeling for these spaces.
Felipe Gonzalez Arzac 在拉普拉塔附近也完成了另一个住宅项目。这栋住宅名为Rex小屋，其顶部设有板形混凝土体量。
阿根廷建筑师Luciano Kruk也在当地的几个住宅中使用了这种材料。

Felipe Gonzalez Arzac has completed another residential project in the City Bell neighbourhood. Called Casa Rex, this home features a board-formed concrete box on top.
Argentinian architect Luciano Kruk has also used the material in several residences in the country.
