Neyer House

Nestled on a 2,000-square-metre lot in the La Horqueta neighbourhood, the Neyer House from Grizzo Studio is a symphony of curved lines that blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The project’s unique challenge was to create a harmonious coexistence between the residential area and a workspace that would receive the public. The solution? A clever use of curved lines to create multiple facades, taking advantage of the mandatory side retreats.

The showroom of Neyer House, located at the front of the property, is cleverly designed to sink into the ground, avoiding any obstruction of the surrounding view or natural lighting. Its morphology generates a garden in front and opens up to a large internal patio, functioning as a barrier between the public and private areas. The residential sector of the house is closed off by a blind concrete block that dematerializes into parasols, creating a sense of seclusion and intimacy.

As one ventures further into the depths of the stunning Neyer House in Argentina, the concrete bar breaks away from the compact block, flowing into a series of curved planes that emerge in two opposite directions. One direction houses the service, kitchen, and gallery areas, surrounding an existing tree and basking in the morning sun. The other direction is occupied by the rest area on the upper floor and a double-height living room, boasting panoramic views of the entire garden and surrounding trees.

A TV room and cellar are strategically located below the living room, taking advantage of the natural ventilation and lighting provided by the showroom patio. The pool, positioned perpendicular to the front of the lot, enjoys a direct relationship with the gallery while capturing the afternoon sun.

With a project size of 440m2, the Neyer House is a testament to the power of innovative design and architecture. By embracing the curves and infinity of concrete, Federico Grizzo has created a masterpiece that not only redefines the boundaries of living and working spaces but also celebrates the beauty of nature and its surroundings.

The Neyer House is a must-see destination for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of art, architecture, and nature. As Oscar Niemeyer so eloquently put it, the curve is what makes concrete seek infinity – and the Neyer House is the perfect embodiment of this philosophy.
