Of.Brutal Honesty is a residential project in Mendoza, Argentina, completed by London-based Of. Studio. The structure is designed as a concrete monolith embedded in a sloping site. It strategically orients to capture sunlight while facing stunning canyon views. The building comprises three levels that cater to different experiences, including an introverted basement and a communal main floor leading to terraces. The roof serves as an active space for relaxation and energy collection, while native vegetation remains untouched, ensuring harmony with the environment.
The architects at Of. Studio embeds its Brutal Honesty residence into the natural slope. The structure is strategically oriented to capture the sunlight while facing toward the most compelling views in the opposite direction.
Each level responds to different modes of inhabitation. The basement establishes a grounded, introverted zone. The main level, anchored by the kitchen and surrounded by communal spaces, opens laterally to the landscape.
At the top, the roof is used not just for energy collection but as an occupiable plateau, with a fireplace, jacuzzi, garden beds, and a designated area for yoga.
Native vegetation was left intact, and no trees were removed in the construction process - a decision that reinforces the house's physical and visual integration with the land.
