Buenos Aires-born Martin Gomez set up his own office in 1990 in Uruguay. 'My work turns into a process in which the architect, interior, landscape and graphic designer tasks overlap,' says Gomez, who now has a second office in Buenos Aires and focuses on quality residential architecture. For his Wallpaper* commission, Gomez envisioned a house 'in a beautiful village close to the ocean, on a steep slope'. The design is based on a box overlooking the valley. In contrast to the clean geometric exterior, the interior is a free-flowing space. A ramp leads to the concrete and wooden structure's entrance, while its timber shutters shape the façade and protect the inhabitants from the wind and summer sun
