L House - Buenos Aires
April 7 2011
This residence was completed in January this year, yet it exudes aclassic, modernist elegance that will ensure it will look just astimeless 50 years from now. Located in Buenos Aires, the “L House” byarchitect Mathias Klotz and associate architect Edgar Minond is the mainresidence of a small family.
Although this could be categorized as yet another grouping of concreteboxes representing the tiresome trend that just does not seem to want todie, this residence avoids all of the pitfalls most of such houses fallinto.
In contrast to the stacked-concrete-boxes syndrome, not one section ofthis residence sticks out over anything, nor jut in an odd angle. Novanity ideas, no statement characteristics, no ego trip.
The house looks unpretentious and serene. All of its parts belongtogether and, loveliest of all, the structure appears to have sat on thesite for some time. Simply put, it belongs. It all works.
European modernist sensitivities are apparent both inside and out. Theuse of wood, glass, steel, concrete and travertine limestone creates acoherent composition of materials and allows light and shadow tocomplete the decorative touches.
Without being too severe or controlled, this residence is composed oforder. Some angles offer a Japanese or Scandinavian vista, as the indoorand outdoor spaces interact harmoniously.
This kind of simplicity is difficult to achieve and therefore it is so rare.
The architect, Mathias Klotz,was born in Viña del Mar, Chile, in 1965. He is one of Chile’s bestknown architects whose work includes private residences, hospitalityand public buildings. In 2001, he received the Borromini Prize forAltamira School in Santiago de Chile. - Tuija Seipell
