The house as mentioned above is within a private area (called countries) on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

Country statutes have some fairly stringent building standards not only in terms of structure of the house (surface, height, etc.) but also in terms of aesthetics, with mandatory use of clear color tones, such as white, gray, yellow, etc..

To try to combat this limited use of color without transgressing the rules of the architect decided to build a wall in front of the main facade with its do the white exterior hue required but hiding a dazzling mural colors on your face interior not visible from the street. Thus both input and floor general who is related to the mural through various openings filled with life and color that it can reach even to intuit from the street.

The wall in turn creates a corridor of entry that ensures privacy on the ground floor as the entrance door or windows of the dining room or study and are visible from the street.

In many areas, and especially on the roofs of two water has chosen to leave it the same concrete physical esturctura of the house.
