surrounded by the mountain ranges of central argentina, interior design firm B.AP has transformed a shipping container into a sales gallery for a large residential and leisure development. the design team positioned the container beneath two large trees, overlooking the valley where the future development will be sited. located in córdoba, the temporary building seeks to blend into the surrounding landscape as much as possible.

the architects at B.AP, santiago bertotti and agustina allende posse, were asked to design a sales gallery for estancia el terrón — a development that includes a country club with a golf course, alongside a series of individual residences. both of the structure’s lateral façades feature expansive glazing, with sliding doors that open at the center of the unit. externally, two terraces engage with the natural terrain, providing a number of areas to relax.

internally, a large table facilitates meetings, while a waiting area at the opposite end doubles as a lounge for more informal encounters. ensuring a clean interior finish, white timber has been used across the walls, ceiling, and floors, while the selected pieces of furniture also have a rustic character. additional illumination is provided by track lighting that runs through the center of the container.
