#architecture#ArgentinaArchitecture#coastalhome Discover El Salvaje House, a bold coastal residence in Argentina by architect Sol Galliano. With approximately seven hundred and thirty-seven square meters and completed in two thousand and twenty-four, this home reimagines living as ritual: a rotated volume opens toward sunrise and sunset, a courtyard-pond bridges inside and out, and raw materials like wood, stone, concrete and glass create a seamless connection with landscape. Every space invites family, nature and light to unite in harmonious design.

In the coastal landscape of a rural neighborhood near the sea,
a house emerges that embraces light, scenery, and togetherness in a bold way.
El Salvaje House, designed by Saul Galliano, transforms living into a ritual. The site
unfolds as a sequence, glass opens to greenery, and every space seems to invite family connection.
Located in Argentina and designed by the studio Saul Galliano,
this residence was conceived for a large family.
The built area totals approximately 737 square meters, completed in 2024.
Its layout places the social areas and bedrooms on the upper floor,
resting on a stone base that concentrates all service spaces.
Access to the residence is through an external staircase that wraps around the central courtyard,
skirting the planted pond, and leading up to the open-air terrace.
Inside, the circulations are organized around this water courtyard,
giving the entire house a fluid relationship between resting, playing, and gathering.
The material palette combines wood, stone, concrete, and glass,
weaving together craftsmanship and contemporary construction.
The house was positioned with a rotation in relation to the property boundaries,
so that the social area faces north and west, allowing views of the sunset,
while the master suite and daily-use bedrooms face east, capturing the morning light.
The social volume and bedrooms rest on two concrete slabs.
The interior walls and built-in furniture are clad in wood, reflecting the same vocabulary
found on the exterior, where wooden breeze soleil provides shading and privacy for the bedrooms.
By rotating the house in relation to its boundaries, the views open toward the surroundings,
while the circulation around the central courtyard allows for cross-ventilation
and natural light throughout the spaces.
The transition between inside and outside is seamless and inviting,
reinforcing the idea of a dwelling that lives both within and beyond its walls.
The pool, jacuzzi, and solarium reinforce the constant dialogue between interior and exterior,
echoing the organic shapes of the openings in the slabs.
El Salvaje House demonstrates how a carefully designed home
can be both sophisticated and deeply connected to its surroundings.
It reminds us that contemporary architecture doesn't have to choose between house and nature.
Between vernacular and modern, it can let both exist in harmony.
