architecture-design · 2026-09-22

A traditional "casa cajón" in Buenos Aires's Parque Chas neighborhood has been renovated by the architecture studio PH TIPO CASA, with completion scheduled for 2026. The project, titled La Haya House, occupies an almost square lot and covers 232 m². Marcelo Sasso served as lead architect, while the design team comprised Ivan Trobec and Josefina Calderon. Sol Veiga and Florencia Gorordo made up the technical team, and H.U.C. handled general construction. The renovation follows an earlier intervention on the same house carried out in the 2000s. According to the architects' description, Parque Chas presents multiple residential typologies, a context that frames the project's approach to the existing structure. The scheme falls under the categories of Houses and Renovation. Federico Cairoli photographed the project, and Valentina Díaz curated it. The original version of the project text was published in Spanish. The project is located in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
