Rivera Paradise House / AtelierM

Rivera Paradise emerges from an extreme urban condition: a small lot between party walls, located in Coghlan, within a historical protection area that required the preservation of part of the existing construction. Instead of viewing this restriction as a limitation, the project transforms it into a starting point. The house works with what is inherited—the lightweight concrete blocks, the exposed brick walls, and the material memory of the site—to create contemporary architecture that does not erase the past but incorporates it as an active part of the new living experience.
