PATTERNS announces the completion of FYF Residence first exhibited

The FYF Residence is a 2,000sq.ft single-family house located in the
outskirts of Rosario, Argentina.

The project can be described as a spatial and physical attempt to
challenge the planar stability and homogeneity of the Pampas
landscape in a domestic setting.
The house is conceived as a monolithic solid, a monochrome form only
punctuated by subtle inflections that help establish andmediate complex
physical relationships among the different spaces of the residence,
while maintaining a sense of identity and privacy between them.

Specifically, a supple cast in site reinforced concrete shell constitutes
the body of the house. Problematic transitions are registered into
the shell through local folds and bends. Punctuations in those transitions
produce cut holes where fenestration is located, allowing for conditions
of luminosity, ventilation, and view. Moreover, through their shape
and disposition, they experientially accentuate or play down the effectsofthe
mass.
The residence is organized from a basic disposition of public and
private spaces connected by a central corridor and articulatedby a
small patio. The internal atmosphere offers a contrasting effect between
calmness and fluidity.

Situated in close proximity to public spaces, a pliant pool produces
a cascading physical continuum with the body of the house. By torquingthe
volume and merging it with the ground, the pool complicates the spatial
stability of the house and activates a sequence of oblique views towards
it and beyond the outer landscape.
