House Vedia by BHY Arquitectos

Architectural Concept

House Vedia, designed by BHY Arquitectos, is a contemporary residential project located in the quiet Nuñez neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Nestled on a narrow 16-meter deep lot between party walls, the design thoughtfully maximizes spatial functionality, natural light, and ventilation while maintaining privacy from the surrounding urban fabric.

The house extends across the entire length of the lot, structured around two carefully designed patios that define the rhythm and flow of the interior spaces. The access courtyard serves as a transitional buffer between the street and the home, creating a welcoming entry experience, while the rear patio ensures optimal lighting and ventilation for the quieter zones of the house.

Spatial Organization and Interior Design

The ground floor prioritizes social connectivity. The strategic arrangement of patios, combined with a custom wooden furniture piece, defines and organizes the living, dining, and gathering areas. Large sliding doors and expansive windows foster a strong visual and physical connection with the outdoors, effectively blurring the boundary between interior and exterior spaces.

Patios are designed with dimensions and geometries that mirror the interior programs, reinforcing the harmony between architecture and landscape. The thoughtful integration of natural light throughout the home enhances the spatial quality, making every corner feel bright and airy.

Architectural Features

• Light Roof: A sloped roof at the front of the house emphasizes the access patio and creates a dynamic sense of scale.
• Double-Height Desk: On the first floor, a double-height desk doubles as an open meeting area, combining work and social functions seamlessly.
• Flexible Second-Floor Plan: The upper floor offers a multi-purpose space with a flexible layout, flanked by two terraces that overlook the main patios and encourage outdoor living.
• Sustainable Design Principles: Large windows, sliding carpentry, and patios enhance natural ventilation and daylighting, promoting a sustainable and comfortable living environment.

Materiality and Aesthetic

The house features a refined material palette that balances warmth and modernity. Natural wood elements, clean lines, and expansive glazing contribute to a minimalist yet inviting aesthetic, aligning with contemporary residential design trends in Buenos Aires.
