TerraViva launches LA JUANITA, a new architecture competition in which participants will work on the design of a contemporary house facing the amazing natural landscape of Paraná’s river (Argentina).

Prizes up to 8.000 € will be awarded to the winners selected by an international jury panel composed, among others, by Giancarlo Mazzanti (El Equipo Mazzanti), Virginia Theilig (FAPyD), Diego Arraigada (Diego Arraigada Arquitectos) and Luciana Lembo (Adamo-Faiden).

BRIEF

The idea of ‘La Juanita’ as a permanent housing location invites architects and designers to imagine what an Argentine home would look like today, nestled in a riverside landscape that slows the frenetic pace of city life and fosters a deep connection with the natural context.

The villa should be designed for a family of four, with the possibility of receiving and eventually accommodating a couple of guests who will enjoy all the comforts and privacy.

PRIZES & MENTIONS

• 1^st Prize: 4.000€
• 2^nd Prize: 2.000€
• 3^rd Prize: 1.000€
• 2 Golden Mentions: 500€ each
• 10 Honorable Mentions: coupon for a free competition
• 30 Finalists: published on TerraViva channels

GUIDELINES

The design can be single-story or spread over two levels (ground floor + first floor). Both compact and more dispersed layouts will be equally considered. The layout, size and arrangement of the home’s intimate and social spaces, as well as their relationships and spatial hierarchies, will be at the discretion of the designers.

Designers are invited to incorporate double-height spaces, semi-covered areas, pergolas, galleries, terraces and exterior flooring treatments, ensuring a gradual transition from the interior to the surrounding nature. These intermediate zones will be crucial for the everyday use of the house, providing enjoyment throughout the year. Do not forget to enhance and value the incredible views with your design proposal.  It will be essential to consider the characteristics of sun exposure, visuals and topography of the site.

REQUESTED MATERIAL

Two A1 panels (59,4 x 84,1 cm) landscape oriented + a brief text describing the proposal (250-500 words);
