In San Isidro, Argentina, architects Maia Imhoff and Natalia Altieri undertook a renovation project to modernize a gallery in a 40-year-old traditional house located within a gated community. The original gallery was deemed too small and impractical for the homeowners, who had long used this space. The architects aimed to enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal, creating a space that could be enjoyed year-round. This project marked the beginning of their architectural firm, Estudio Altieri Imhoff, in 2021.

The renovation was particularly significant as it catered to the specific needs of Imhoff's parents, who sought a more contemporary look for their home. The design process was a collaborative effort between the two architects, who had previously worked together and formed a personal bond. By combining their skills and understanding of the family's requirements, they successfully executed the project, which was both a professional milestone and a personal endeavor for Maia.

Overall, the project not only revitalized the gallery's appearance but also improved its functionality, allowing the family to enjoy a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. This transformation reflects broader architectural trends in Argentina, where contemporary designs are increasingly favored in traditional settings, merging modern aesthetics with the heritage of classical architecture.
