Rio Boulevard 1775

Avenida Roque Sáenz Peña 1775, Posadas, Misiones, Argentina — 2016

Architecture ceases to be a boundary between the city and the landscape to become a permanent link with the river, the light and the climate. Every decision of the project —the deep terraces, the green expansions, the open views and the cross ventilation— seeks to turn daily life into a freer, more luminous spatial experience connected with the surroundings. A building conceived to experience the Paraná not as a distant landscape, but as an active part of the architecture and of daily life.

Living facing the Paraná

Located on the coastal edge of Posadas, Río Boulevard 1775 emerges as an exploration of the relationship between housing, landscape, and climate in a city marked by the river and the humidity of the Argentine littoral.

The architecture organizes the building as a sequence of stepped volumes and exterior expansions that orient the units toward the best views and sunlight conditions available on the lot.

Más que un objeto aislado, el edificio intenta comportarse como una pieza climática sensible. Los balcones, expansiones y canteros vegetales funcionan simultáneamente como espacios habitables y dispositivos ambientales, mejorando el confort térmico y favoreciendo la ventilación natural cruzada en las unidades. La incorporación de terrazas verdes, paneles solares y sistemas de calentamiento de agua mediante energía solar refleja una búsqueda temprana de sustentabilidad integrada a la arquitectura cotidiana, entendida no como agregado tecnológico sino como parte constitutiva del proyecto.

The dwellings were conceived prioritizing spatial breadth, visual continuity, and the permanent relationship with the exterior. The large social spaces expand toward generous terraces that extend everyday life into the open air.

In the communal areas, the building incorporates amenities and gathering spaces oriented toward extending collective life to the exterior: pool, solarium, multipurpose room, gym, and terrace with river views.

Río Boulevard 1775 belongs to an early stage of the studio in which themes were already beginning to emerge that would later become recurring in our practice: bioclimatic architecture, the relationship between landscape and program, and the search for spatialities that transcend the logic of the conventional apartment.
