Lectures

Teaching is an active part of our practice. For many years, members of AtelierM have taught Architectural Design at FADU, University of Buenos Aires, establishing a continuous exchange between practice, research and academia.

This exchange extends beyond institutional settings through lectures, workshops and ongoing dialogue with architects and colleagues from different disciplines.

Collaborative

AtelierM is conceived as a workshop: a collaborative space where people, disciplines, stories and different ways of thinking come together.

We approach design as an editorial process. Rather than starting from a single predetermined solution, we open up multiple possibilities, testing different ideas, relationships and directions. Through a multidisciplinary and collective process, these possibilities are discussed, challenged, combined and gradually refined until the project finds its most meaningful form.

For us, collaboration is not simply about working together; it is a way of designing.

Sustainable

Sustainability is at the root of our work. We understand it as a way of designing rather than a goal in itself.

Our approach considers durability, resources, energy, landscape and the long-term impact of what we build. Inspired by the principles of circular economy, we seek to create architecture that consumes less, lasts longer and encourages more conscious ways of inhabiting.

Experimental

We understand architecture as a continuous process of exploration and evolution.

We know the rules and understand the parameters, yet we allow each project to develop without knowing exactly where the process will lead. Through experimentation with geometry, materials, technology and traditional crafts, we search for new possibilities while remaining grounded in the realities of construction.

Every project becomes part of that ongoing evolution.

Music meets Architecture

Both architecture and music influence our state on mind. They’re capable of producing unique emotions. That is no project without rhythm and structure, as there is no emotion without harmony or melody.

In the quest for emotion generators, there is a constant dance between music and architecture. Sometimes the answer comes one, and some from the other. We just have to explore and keep our senses wide open.

Music shows rhythm, silence, harmony, melody and fluidity. These notions are extremely valuable to architecture as tools for the design process.

Basically, by discussing these concepts we can see clearly how architecture and music both speak the very same language.

We create exciting designs based on the circular economy, through a creative workshop of constant search and experimentation, made up of a collaborative team.

Let the Sunshine in

Mato house emerges at the end of a Cul de Sac, in a trapezoidal Lot that ends in a big curve in front of the lake. Right from the beginning, the client’s wish was for the house to receive as much sunlight as possible. This was challenging given the orientation of the lot, but ultimately gave us the main concept for the design of the project.

Being in front of a lake that opens up to the north on its horizons, contact with nature was clearly inherent to the project. The idea was for the house to emerge from the ground, creating a light well in its center, completely open to sunlight. As a result, an ascending spiral is created around said space, generating 360º views all the way to its top, and also receiving as much sunlight as possible.

The house “opens up” towards the lake so as to take advantage of the lots geometry, thus maximizing its potential. These criteria allows for the entire public area of the house to have a straight view of the lake. The same occurs in the upper floor with the private area: all bedrooms and even the bathrooms overlook the water. At the front of the house, there is a narrower area that harbors the entryway and a study that has an independent exit. The Patio distributes the house into two parts, public and private. This partition is reinforced vertically by the different levels of the house as well.

In regard to Energetic efficiency, it was thought out hand in hand with the design of the house. Every room has natural light and crossed ventilation, while the green roof acts as a thermal insulator for the most unfavorably oriented façade of the house.

In conclusion, Mato is a project that oscillates between being an environmentally conscious design, and a house that dissolves itself conceptually with nature. These notions are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary, they reinforce each other, thus creating a full rounded model.
