VILLA JUANITA – NIDO DE IGUANA*

*Iguana nest

We would like to thank the “Grenef” portal for publishing an article about our latest competition project in Argentina.

Villa Juanita is not just a house; it is an interpretation of living in harmony with nature — a place where spaces blend seamlessly with the surroundings, and architecture becomes an extension of the landscape.

Located on the banks of the Paraná River, the house takes on a form that responds both to natural conditions and the way of life it is designed to support. Inspired by the green iguana, it represents a physical manifestation of a natural state — just as the iguana retreats into its habitat, the house merges with the land, almost disappearing into it.

The roof, which descends from the edges of the structure, resembles the iguana’s legs bent toward the ground, creating a direct connection between shelter and terrain. This form is not only aesthetic — it is functional, adapting to the microclimate, allowing for natural ventilation and protection from the sun.
