Casa Pellegrini Architectural Project by TAM Studio Explores Phenomenological Space

architecture-design · 2026-04-04

The architectural project Casa Pellegrini, designed by TAM studio under the direction of Guillermo Elgart, was completed in 2020 in Mar del Plata, Argentina. The residence covers a total area of 304 square meters, with an additional semi-covered space of 126.20 square meters. The design team included architects Silvia Tammone, Gabriel Arini, and Juan Albarenque, with engineering by Felipe Otárola and contributions from collaborators Andrés López, Roberto Mucciarelli, and Gimena Guerreiro Chavier. Photography for the project was handled by Obra Linda, and materials were sourced from suppliers including Casa Blanco, Cerrosud, Pasalto Hormigon, and Pintureria 'Del centro'. The project represents an experimental approach by TAM studio, focusing on phenomenological principles that examine the relationship between space, time, and human perception. Elgart and Tammone conceptualize architecture not merely as formal construction but as a relational structure that becomes complete through occupant movement. They describe space as extended time, transforming the building into an active organism whose meaning unfolds through physical traversal. The project was curated by Valentina Díaz and documented on the architectural platform ArchDaily.
