In the heart of Buenos Aires lies a home that's a perfect blend of history and modernity, curated by the talented Laura, an interior architect. This early 20th-century house, nestled in the charming English-style neighborhood of Temperley, has been meticulously renovated to reflect Laura's vision of a cozy yet functional living space for her family. The restoration project was a delicate dance between preserving the original features of the house and infusing it with locally sourced materials in natural hues that complement its heritage.
Laura's design prowess shines through as she strategically reconfigured the layout, tearing down walls to create a spacious living area where her family can gather and bond. The central patio, a focal point of the house, was rejuvenated to its former glory, with original elements like walls, stairs, and doors retained to maintain the historical charm. The patio now serves as a versatile space for family meals, cleverly concealing storage areas under the stairs to keep the area clutter-free.
The living and dining space exudes an air of sophistication with high ceilings, pine floors, and cedar doors, all meticulously restored to their former glory. Laura's custom-made modular sofa and handcrafted coffee table add a personal touch to the room, while a swivel-mounted TV ensures entertainment from every angle. The kitchen, designed with a green palette and natural materials inspired by the patio, boasts ample storage and a large countertop for culinary adventures, illuminated by a large window that floods the space with light.
Laura's design philosophy, rooted in breaking free from conventional norms, is evident in every corner of the house. From the cozy cave-like bedrooms, designed for a peaceful night's sleep, to Pedro's playful room adorned with custom animal-themed wall vinyl, each space tells a unique story. The staircase, a standout feature of the house, cleverly integrates hidden storage and a massive open bookshelf, showcasing Laura's innovative approach to design. With plans to further expand and transform the space in the future, Laura's home is a testament to the transformative power of creativity and imagination in interior architecture.
