We live in a world in constant transformation, where cities become increasingly compact, hermetic, and frictional, forcing the overcrowding of their residents; and Buenos Aires cannot escape this trend. The largest and most populous city in the country becomes more crowded and constructed every day, where we intersect with the uncontrollable increase of "people", and the shock of the unknown, with an apparent increase of otherness. This is why we move away, we close ourselves off in our little worlds with less empathy and closeness, in what not so long ago used to be an organic community. Issues as primitive as the sun, the wind, the trees, the light, and the shadows, seem to be more and more absent, but they continue to inhabit here, in our common environment. These elements continually become more appealing, but each time we give less room for their appearance. To let them be. Let them flow and enter our homes.

That is why the structure is visible, forming a set of successive exposed concrete panels. The building places great emphasis on sensory perceptions, as a primitive and inquisitive matter of mere being. Making a huge commitment to its large open spaces, allowing a full experience with nature. A sensation that is so basic and fundamental, but at the same time so scarce and forgotten in the great metropolises and in this case in our Buenos Aires. We always say that “The project strengthened the building”; providing it with new species, which absorb CO2 and produce the oxygen necessary to improve the life of the building and of the city itself. The green space is composed of ten new trees, four large and six medium-sized and more than 150 species (bushes, hanging plants, climbing vines, and native plants and butterflies attracting plants on the rooftop) inviting new varieties to appear over time. The RH+ collective housing building gives those who inhabit it a ray of sunlight. Perhaps it bounces off a leaf of a tree in a delighting play of light and shadow, avoking tranquility that passes through a peaceful, calm, and serene time in coexistence with neighbors.
