situated on a very particular site at the midst of a forest at the foot of a mire, surrounded by at least 6 different types of native tree species, argentinian practice G2 estudio‘s ‘swamp house’ in patagonia preserves the biodiversity by building within and throughout the local vegetation to leave as much as possible intact. the gently sloping topography allows the house to open up below grade, maintaining the unobstructed views from the entry street and creating several levels to house all the programmatic elements. the twisting fluid forms are a result of the surrounding environment, playing a reactive role to the cues set up by its location. a poured-in-place concrete structure is wrapped in wood planks and topped with a series of green roofs, extending view out to the ñires forest.
