Restoration

In General Alvear, Mendoza, an old winery stands, whose origins date back to 1924, when its first tanks housed the wine of the Hidalgo family. However, in the late 1970s, after being abandoned, the passage of time and lack of care left the building practically in ruins. In 2015, four decades later, an heir of the family, endowed with artistic and cultural vision, acquired the structure with the purpose of transforming it into his atelier, personal museum, and exhibition hall.

Among the wooded hills of the São Paulo countryside, Fazenda Pinheiro reaffirms that architecture can evolve in dialogue with time. Built in the 1980s as the headquarters of a farm, the house was restored by the Lamas Team with the purpose of reclaiming its essence and adapting its spaces to a contemporary way of living, while simultaneously enhancing the connection between architecture and landscape.

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood of an old resort that, cornered by the development of neighboring cities, has managed to maintain its atmosphere, warehouses, and dirt streets without sidewalks. The lowest point of the neighborhood is its square, and lower than the square is the house.
