Modern Home Design - FyF Residence by P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S

FyF Residence is an Modern Home Designed by P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S, located in the outskirts of Rosario, Argentina. This small house [approx. 200 m2] is being built on a new residential development adjacent to a traditional neighborhood. FYF Residence can be described as an attempt to deal with the generic and undifferentiated flatness of the pampas landscape. The project was conceived as a monolithic solid, a monochrome form only punctuated by subtle inflections that establish a complex physical relationship among the different spaces while maintaining a sense of identity and privacy between them.

Specifically, a supple concrete shell constitutes the body of this Modern Home Design. Problematic transitions are registered into the shell through folds and bends. Punctuations in those transitions are effected through detached slits. These techniques, controlled by a structuring geometry governing the shape of the house, imply also a dexterous plasticity in its material. Folds and slits, allow also for conditions of luminosity, ventilation, and view. Moreover, through their shape and disposition, they are means of emphasizing geometry while experientially accentuating the topology of the shell at every local point.

Given that one of our clients is an agricultural engineer and a landscape designer, the project offered the opportunity to incorporate a rather unique activity as a small flower forcing facility [green house]. Instead of isolating it from the rest of this Modern Home Design, the green house was situated in a continuous spatial sequence with interior social spaces, swimming pool and solarium, thus integrating its presence and exploiting its expressive dynamism.

The shell’s warped surfaces will register experiences of different sort; seeing, touching, smelling, hearing; through their proximity to distinct forms of flow; the unfolding of social and physical activity inside this Modern Home Design, the flow and sound of water and other body movements in and around the pliant pool, and the textures and fragrances of several flower species populating the green house.
