For the LRC House in San Isidro, Buenos Aires, architecture firm BDB Arquitectos used modern design elements to overcome the local geography. The house is situated in a natural ravine near the city’s La Plata River and is laid out like a staircase to fit onto the plot’s slope.

The reinforced concrete building is L-shaped, with a ground level courtyard and swimming pool surrounded by the building’s living areas. Above this are the house’s bedrooms, while the third story features a studio and garden terrace that offers views across the river. The minimal interior of the house features exposed concrete, which is offset by wooden details including the bookshelves and tables.

Take a look around the LRC House above. In other architecture news, check out this private house from design firm Nilsson Pflugfelder.
