The Sakura House Gallery:

Text by the Architects: Surrounded by the Argentine Delta, implanted in a trapezoidal lot, overlook a lagoon; Its North orientation, towards one of its sides, generated the inclusion of a light patio with abundant vegetation which we also use as the entrance. It works as an articulator; as a transition between the street and the access to the house, it is the heart of it and all the circulations turn towards this space.
