memory.
Located in Núñez, this residential project—developed by one of the key figures in the local real estate market—features 3-, 4- and 5-room units with private terraces and pools. Conceived for a premium audience, the design prioritizes generous interior spaces, privacy, integrated technology and abundant greenery, responding to the expectations of today’s high-end residential market. Larger units, private outdoor areas and high comfort standards shape a product aligned with contemporary urban living.
While city life offers accessibility, connectivity and opportunity, it also presents challenges such as limited space and the constant search for calm and disconnection. In response to this tension, the project was conceived with a clear premise: bringing the essence of a house into the city. Guided by this vision, the design is structured around three core principles—spatiality, tranquility and connection with nature.
Generous indoor and outdoor spaces enhance openness and comfort, while privacy and calm are carefully addressed through the building’s low-rise scale and its relationship with the street. A flexible textile enclosure system allows for privacy without compromising natural light, encouraging a seamless extension of living spaces outdoors. Vegetation plays a central role in the project, with green areas integrated into each unit and strategically placed at bedroom exits to clearly define public and private zones, reinforcing a sense of retreat within the urban context.

sustainability.
Casa Magna integrates sustainability as a core design principle, enhancing both environmental performance and long-term quality. The project incorporates a high-performance building envelope to improve thermal efficiency, reducing energy demand throughout the year. Rainwater collection systems are implemented for reuse, while native vegetation with low water requirements is carefully selected to minimize maintenance and consumption.
Energy-efficient electrical and sanitary systems further support responsible resource use, complemented by smart technology integration that optimizes performance and user control. Together, these strategies contribute to a more efficient, resilient and environmentally conscious residential project.
