    Houses in Argentina: Green Roofs That Blend Architecture and Landscape

    August 18th, 2025

    Seeking to create a fluid dialogue between architecture and its surrounding landscape, the study of topography embodies an awareness and exploration of the use of materials, self-sufficient strategies, low-maintenance solutions, and landscape designs that integrate into the natural environment and minimize the environmental impact of projects. Beyond recording variations in elevation, sun orientation, prevailing winds, or drainage slopes of the terrain, several architects in Argentina demonstrate a strong interest in developing architectural solutions capable of adapting to natural geographies and restoring the bond between nature and the human being.

    While it has been proven that contact with nature brings significant health benefits beyond its functional roles, landscape design involves a series of processes where the selection of species and the control and maintenance of spaces reflect the vitality of nature. Evolving over time, three-dimensional, multispecies landscape designs are being conceived, along with bioenvironmental designs that seek to reinforce a commitment to sustainability by prioritizing natural lighting or cross ventilation of interior spaces, among other strategies.

    Light also has the power to transform the perception of spaces and plays an important role in creating interior atmospheres that, in relation to different plant species, can cast patterns of shadows and reflections across surfaces. With the aim of enriching the living experience, the design of spaces for contemplation and introspection in contemporary housing complements the experience of merging with the natural landscape. Indoor gardens and green roofs help improve air quality and bring freshness to the interior of the home.

    Discover below a selection of six houses in Argentina that adapt to their natural environments, promoting a connection that links their ground floors with their roofs. Like a journey, the relationship with nature becomes a central theme in these projects, presenting grand visuals and revealing, through their sections, the integration of vegetation at different levels.
