Starting your first project, especially at age 24 is not an easy thing. We were comissioned a 1900 sq ft farm house, located 100km away from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The only limitation we had was that the client had already bought most of the doors and windows at a local auction and was determined to use them. We knew we wanted to mix a minimalistic interior design together with a more antique and typical Argentinian facade. Tradition, materials and colours came together. The breathtaking views of a very wild farm has inspired much of this down to earth design. Simplicity and lots of space, without looking empty. Casual, warm, easy but elegant and practical, that's about it.
Lucia worked with Anthony Sibbald on this project and currently is working with Martin Gomez on projects in Argentina and Uruguay.

I love this place - esp the way the house wraps around the courtyard in back!
Only thing I would want is a large pergola over the entry...
...but I love that big chunky bed and the antique chairs at the rustic dining table!
I do like the simplicity and like that there is one large window. It would been nice to see the elevation on the other side. Is there a kitchen?
This is a good example of when an architect should collaborate with a interior designer or someone that understands furniture layout, art and lighting but both wanting a similar outcome. Not saying it needs decoration I am just not understanding the furniture layout, rug placement and art is too high.
Nonetheless, fun project beautiful place.
So beautiful and simple! I really love the windows the owner picked out.
me encanta!!! felicitaciones!
Bueno ver arquitectos con los pies en el suelo, felicitaciones

An Interior Designer for a little Farmhouse?
Really?
As far as the kitchen, many folks in other countries don't subscribe to the Open Kitchen/Great Room concept - They see the kitchen as a purely utilitarian/functional space much as we see a mudroom, garage or laundry room: Not worth spending time in, much less photographing.
bepsf you don't think the furniture placement and art is odd? It's a nice project enough to collaborate with someone that understands the design of the farmhouse and could of pulled it together better, easy enough to do.
I am fully aware of how kitchens are in other countries are having traveled and staying in many homes in South America and Europe. I still would of like to see it and I find these types of kitchen more interesting because they really are less is more.
i luv luv luv the 2 oversized chairs in front of the wht slipcovered sofa...any info on them ? i think everything looks great-simple,classic,comfy!

No - I find the furniture arrangement fairly appropriate given the size of the space and the separate functions within the room - particularly given that the front entrance to the home is in the center of the room facing the dining area and the fireplace & TV are at one end of the room where the one sofa is facing. I think it's smart that they created two separate sitting areas for the space.
And while the art is probably a bit high for my personal taste - maybe just above eye level - it's at least a fairly consistent height all around the room.
I actually like the furniture placement, and if it works for the family whose to complain about the look. Sometimes function should override form
