Like the current state of residence of the owners on an island, the choice of the lot where the house would be implemented also proved to be an island, but this time between two rivers, surrounded by stunning scenery towards the four cardinal points, Cerro Catedral, Sierra Ventana Canyon Golf Course and with streams and lush vegetation. Thus, housing should be sufficiently dislocated in the composition of the plant to achieve so each volume to achieve a particular frame of the breathtaking nature.

The first idea comes from the juxtaposition of volumes, each containing distinct functions, Which develop on one hand social life and others privacy. At its meeting, where the volumes and spaces converge, generating dynamic routes between activity and rest areas house, which stressed, the transition from being supported on the rise looking rock views. This provides a up-down travel Bond of the wealth produced by the meeting space.

The intention morphological and material focuses on the idea that the stronger becomes fragile, the holder becomes steady, solid in ethereal, static and dynamic vice versa. The house is then a search for balance, juxtaposition, observation points, pull-ons, life journey, embrace and shelter.

To achieve artistic expression and the limits of the materials The work was carried out with two distinct systems To reflect the idea of the project would be based reinforced concrete, Leading to their fullest potential in horizontal planes, vertical and lead off for a seismically active area such as San Carlos de Bariloche, along with as a heavy stone, rustic connected to the nearby mountains. What would be sustained steel frames for the outer shells, partitions, panels and sun visors for the front west and east, which would be covered in wood from the area taking advantage of its warmth and lightness.

Was used to cover asphalt slate black color Generating color and texture contrasts. The interiors are the result of the interpenetration of volumes compositional address compliance, convergence and achieving a dramatic materiality balance between the expression of shapes, textures and views. With Ribbon House G2Estudio close a small cycle of evolution in the search for housing types, and launches into new spaces for these architectural exploration, arguing that every expression of architecture should be unique and unrepeatable as are users of them.
