La Cándida by Adamo-Faiden
Argentinian architects Adamo-Faiden have completed a club house in the middle of a lake near Buenos Aires.

Containing a gym, spa and bar, the pill-shaped structure is connected to the shore by a semi-circular walkway.

The mosaic-clad club house serves a gated community called La Cándida, where the architects have already built a community centre. See our previous story.

Here's some more information from the architects:
La Cándida is a gated community built at the border of a route that links Buenos Aires to the seaside resorts of the Atlantic coast.

The property is axially aligned with an artificial lake, a semicircular portion of land at its extreme west became the area of intervention.

Confronting these conditions the project proposes two simultaneous actions: the augmentation of the lake and the construction of a pavilion isolated in its interior.

The two actions intend to invert the inertia of each element in order to become fused with the emergence of an experience specific to this new scenery.

Alongside the programs that configure the building - gym, bar and spa - the club house has an integrating vocation that aspires to dissolve the limits of its prints, inviting each individual to increase their relationships where it seems impossible to do so.
