The Round House - a large villa

I vicini si chiedono di chi sia e perché sia ​​chiuso da anni. It is not an qualsiasi house, but a large palazzo liberty in perfect conditions. If you are in a residential area of ​​Buenos Aires. She is known as The Round House, tuttavia, if she knows little about this private residence, with her mysterious past and present.

Construction of the great palazzo

The construction of the Round House, a large palazzo, has not gone unnoticed. La sua torre e il colorato stile italiano hanno poco a che fare con le casa en stile Tudor ei piccoli hotel della zona. Its position is strategic, it is producing eighth on the Eduardo Costa e Ortíz de Ocampo street, in the Barrio Parque, opposite Viale Figueroa Alcorta.

Second i document that Danno conto dell'opera del pittore e architetto Palanti in Argentina, the emblematic palazzo was inaugurated in 1922. Also Chrysler fu opera di Palanti. On the south side of this enormous construction there is La Redonda.

Mario Palanti architetto di The Round House, a large palazzo

If he narrates that the architetto built the grand palazzo in front of the dealership in the way that the Fevre family, representative of Chrysler in Argentina, can observe the finestre of their own apartment, the test track for the car that the building has at the last piano.

C'è chi, contemplating this gioiello architettonico della città di Buenos Aires, suddenly remembers another treasure of Buenos Aires: the Palacio Barolo. I did not surprise myself if we had to know that the author of the entrambe le costruzioni è lo stesso. Mario Palanti has sviluppato his academic training in his native country, but a large part of his heritage is from Argentina.

I arrived in Buenos Aires very young, only 25 years old, with the obiettivo di partecipare alla costruzione del Padiglione Italia. Quello sarebbe diventato the beginning of that which was for him a brilliant career, according to his great talent and creativity.

Se ti fermi sul marciapiede di Figueroa Alcorta, puoi vedere la sua torre di vedetta sinuosa en stile indiano spiccare tra la cime degli alberi di jacaranda. Presents a ring in muratura dalla quale if you raise a palette in ferro. Inoltre, i cancelli showno rilievi lignei che, per molti, evocano Dante, autore della Divina Commedia, e Beatrice, sua protagonista.

“È indubitably palantino, given the bulbous and oversized balconies, all'evocazione medioevale italiana dei ballatoi and all gli ornamenti surely unique, thought and made proper for this house, like the lantern in the garden, the intaglio delle porte, etc.”, describes Thorn Rawson.

A ghost in the Round House- A large and mysterious villa

In the course of his history, he passed through various owners. Between 1940 and 1949 La Casa Redonda, a large palazzo, was inhabited by the Ceballos family. Finché lì one of the figlie died of tuberculosis and if transferred to the Hotel Savoy. Più tardi, a family from Salta used it during i loro soggiorni a Buenos Aires. This is also the ambasciata of Iran until 1979, when Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was anchored to potere.

Ecco perché è state revealed that it has a bunker of registered security, piastre di rimbalzo, sistemi control le mi armi automatiche and finestre of security and security. Poi l'acquistò la famiglia Fucile, che per quattro anni si dedicò a restorarla poiché era in cattive condizioni. Hanno vissuto lì fino at 1998 when he sold it.

Rimase chiuso per anni fino a cuando l'azienda argentina Mobili decides to refinish it and will invest a large somma di denaro to restore it and allestire a showroom of furniture in Lusso where it was not esposte anche opere d'arte. Hanno occupato il posto per circa due anni e da allora è state chiuso.

Vicky Peláez, who was the curatrice of that show, remembered how much she was lustrous in the palazzo all'interno: "On the piano terra c'erano boiserie, a great road and an important scale".

The enigmatic Round House: a large dimora piena di secreti

As if he is a scoper, the owner of La Redonda is Argentine and lives on the estuary. The house is still in the night with the shining light, not with bells or electric citophones in sight and if you can see only one sign with the number, Eduardo Costa 3079, I have sold an entrance from the street. If you find an area protected by chiamata APH 3 Grand Bourg, a quiet area with diagonali in stile originally designed by Carlos Thays.

On his return, one of the clients who was used to going to buy and move his place, has revealed that all'interno was accadando sew strange at that time. “Le luci if I sounded accese da sole, l'allarme ha sonato, le immagini if ​​sono mosse e gli oggetti sono caduti dall'alto delle scale. In the quarter, he says that I saw the ghost of the autista dei primi abitanti dwell, who died at the beginning of the secolo because of an incident inside the house.

Second on the interactive site of the government of Buenos Aires, Ciudad3D, where it appears with the number 3083, the residence has a built area of ​​810 m², while the land has 466 m².

If sviluppa its due piani ed è classified as Patrimonio Architetonico e Urbano della Città, with structural protection, in quanto, ai sensi della Legge 3056, treating the building antecedent to 1941, it cannot be demolished or modified. Tuttavia, il rapporto non dice nulla sui suoi attuali proprietari. "I hope I soon start to move, it is sad to see a house that is beautiful, chiusa", dicono i vicini.

I will visit the Barrio Parque accompanied by the Round House, it will be a beautiful buffer stock. Barrio Parque is a Celtic area of ​​diverse important personalities: giudici, artists and politicians who are refugees from the dimore in English and French styles that are multiplican along the curve of the road. Sono case basse e imposingi opere architettoniche.
