ZAMPA VILLA
Gaboto, Agentina
Pampa House
Set against the boundless horizon of the Argentine Pampa, this house emerges as a extension of the landscape — a horizontal construction that both grounds and reflects the vast landscape it inhabits. Conceived as a dialogue between mass and void, the project negotiates light, wind, and ground, giving spatial form to the immensity of the plain.
A continuous envelope defines the building’s presence: a folded shell that anchors itself to the earth while opening to the horizon through deep incisions and glazed apertures. The gesture is at once protective and receptive — a vessel that captures light and movement within a precise geometry.
The structure’s articulation evokes the agricultural infrastructures scattered across the Pampas, reinterpreted here through a contemporary architectural language that emphasizes material density, spatial continuity, and atmospheric resonance.
More than a dwelling, the project acts as an observatory of the landscape — an inhabited threshold between earth and sky, where architecture becomes a quiet instrument for perceiving the infinite horizon.
