Casa Negra in Buenos Aires

Casa Negra or “the Black House”- comes from Andres Remy Architects and is located at a 30 km distance from Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a spectacular natural environment. In taking on this project, the team of architects had to deal with some of the circumstances of the local setting. First of all, they had full responsibility and full freedom in creating the plans for the house. Second off, they had to make it so they would take advantage of the landscapes around the area. Situated next to a beautiful lake, the views had the potential of being unbeatable and this was one of the major strengths that the team based their work on. From the exterior, the building looks amazing and is really “worth” its name. The interiors are wide and spacious.

"a perfect union and harmonious interplay between elegance and spectacle. The search here was inspired by what one could call the ‘art’ and poetics of motor racing, specifically Formula 1, coupled with the making of a place that celebrates Abu Dhabi as a cultural and technological tour de force."
