Would you move to Buenos Aires for this brutalist urban villa?

The spiralling concrete staircase is a selling point

This three-storey concrete house in the Bajo Belgrano neighbourhood of Buenos Aires centres on a sculptural helical staircase rising beneath a circular skylight. Completed in 2017, the four-bedroom residence is built almost entirely from exposed concrete, with large sliding-glass panels, travertine floors and ebony-toned timber linings offsetting the structure’s harder surfaces.

Open-plan living and dining spaces occupy the ground floor and connect directly to a garden, swimming pool and terrace, while the upper levels contain two en suite bedrooms and a top-floor studio designed to be reconfigured into additional bedrooms. Each bedroom has access to its own terrace.

The house sits between the Río de la Plata waterfront and Barrancas de Belgrano park in Bajo Belgrano. Below the main living spaces, a basement level contains service quarters, a wine cellar and utility rooms, while independent underfloor heating and central air-conditioning systems serve each floor separately.

The 594sqm property is currently listed through Miranda Bosch in Buenos Aires for $1.9 million.
