Project: Alvear 671
Area: 650m²
Location: Martinez, Buenos Aires Province
Completed: 2010
Situated in residential area of Buenos Aires, this building is not an office, and it is not exactly a house either, nor a study. But the Ellipse home/office has something of all that. A wooden and net concrete wall separates the private residence world from the city on the sidewalk. But above the wall, the second floor in the house from the side of the ellipse's more acute edge may be seen, showing an interesting counterpoint between the brilliant and transparent curve of the ellipse and the opaque and smooth plate of the wall.
VS Architects' architects have shaped a stripped-down, multifunctional space for those who dream of working at home. The Ellipse residence, in Buenos Aires (Argentina), is actually a large residential office with a small area dedicated to family living environments.
Quite interesting and unusual, the home office reveals an original design in the form of an ellipse with curved glass walls.
The space is surrounded by vegetation and a small lake that creates the impression that the whole building is floating on it.
With approximately 650m² of area, Ellipse stands out for its rounded volume and transparency. Customers were looking for a functional and aesthetically pleasing space, as a solution the professionals undertook an elaborate “home office”, mixing commercial, residential and multipurpose environments.
On the first floor, there is the company's lobby, a kitchen, bathrooms and two bedrooms. The second has a meeting room, office, bathroom and two other rooms.
