A Curved Concrete Refuge Blending with the Landscape

Casa Olivos by Gonzalo Bardach Arquitectura, located on a golf course slope in Pilar, Argentina, offers a stunning architectural response to its natural setting. The most striking feature is its curved concrete roof, seamlessly merging into a green terrace, blurring the boundary between architecture and landscape. Acting as both roof and garden, this vegetated ramp not only connects the lower and upper levels but also softens the geometric structure with a sculptural flow.

Large glass facades open up the interior to expansive views of the surrounding greenery, reinforcing the home’s connection to nature. The light-filled spaces, framed by exposed concrete and warm wood surfaces, create an atmosphere that evolves with the daylight. The interior, open-plan and generous, includes social areas on the ground floor and private bedrooms above, all designed with sustainability and passive cooling in mind.

In Casa Olivos, the roof is not just a shelter but a living ecosystem. It invites nature to take root while offering residents visual access to both sky and garden. This dynamic fusion of curved form, native vegetation, and panoramic glazing turns the house into a living extension of the land it rests on.
