Casapueblo, a photo from Maldonado, South

Photographer's Note

Esse obra arquitetônica nada convencional começou a ser construída em 1958, a partir de um cômodo feito de latas. Mais tarde foi revestido com ripas de madeiras que vinham de navios naufragados.

Anos depois, Carlos Páez Vilaró descobriu a receita que daria a cara e o estilo que a casa tem até hoje. Com cimento e cal, "pregou" uma espécie de tela de galinheiro nas paredes de madeira e pintou sua casa, feita toda ŕ măo, de branco. A intençăo foi dar contraste com o céu e o mar.

Vilaró se definia como um "fazedor de coisas". Infiltrava-se em todos os campos das artes plásticas que lhe chamavam atençăo.

Amazing architecture, to me it is a mix of Greek buildings with the influence of architects like Gaudi, very well captured

Ola Luis,
Wonderful design, Gaudi influence is evident. Its white painted walls must be taken in a frontal light condition, otherwise it would be "washed-colors", hope you do not mind me saying so. But, when traveling we do not have the choice of weather and other condition.
Unique architecture, always interesting scenes.
Bom novo dia,
Ike

Hi Luis,
well framed this facade, good contrast effect with white walls and the other part of the view as these photogenic water reflections.

Hello Luis Gustavo,

Very interesting white house with strange shapes, like from Gaudi but without any colours. Beautiful araucaria tree on the right side. Amazing architecture, thanks for sharing.

Kind regrads Malgo

Hello Luis,
A very nice photo of this white house with its smooth shapes. I really like the strong light in combination with shaded façade. The pond adds a nice reflections as well. Well captured and composed.

Hello Luis,
This is a fascinating photo, partly because it is such an amazing architecture, partly thanks to the incredible note about how this building was created. It is a good photo from a fine angle and with well managed light, but even more it's a tribute to the unique genius who created this.
Kind regards,
Gert

snunney (130965) 2018-02-15 3:01

Hello Luis,
Good capture of this interesting ensemble of architecture. I like the inclusion of the pool and the reflection, which nicely round out the composition. Fine technical quality.

Royaldevon (63187) 2018-02-15 3:05

Good Morning Luis,

I found you notes about the construction of this unique building very interesting. It is difficult to imagine how it was made when you see this final, finished building. It actually looks like something from a film set, a fairy castle or something definitely made for imaginary people like elves or dwarfs.
You have captured the building really well to reveal all its unusual character and composed it so that advantage is taken from the f/g reflections.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

jhm (189813) 2018-02-15 6:05

Hello Luis,

This buildings has a great history certainly of construction.
Nice depth and perspective.
An excellent composition, pleasant presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Sergiom (114359) 2018-02-15 6:44

Bonjour Luis,

Si je comprends bien le titre, cela veut dire la maison du peuple, un peu comme l'hôtel de ville de l'endroit. L'architecture est trčs espagnole avec des tendances ŕ la Gaudi.

Amicalement

Serge

danos (110395) 2018-02-15 7:07

Ola Luis,

Hola Luis Gustavo,

buena imagen de este interesante edificio, me gustan sus formas y la combinación de colores, nunca hubiera dicho que está en Uruguay, bien visto,

Un saludo,

Witaj Luis!
Bardzo ciekawa architektura.
Widok robi wrażenie.
Dobry kadr, kolory i światło.

Ah, a famosa casa de marshmellow. Ficou muito boa a foto, mostrando bem os detalhes dessa obra de arte.

papagolf21 (143890) 2018-02-15 22:32

Bonjour, cher Luis,
La note contribue grandement ŕ la compréhension de cette "maison" trčs particuličre.
J'aime beaucoup l'historique et la présentation générale.
Une réussite !
Amitiés.
Philippe

ChrisJ (150622) 2018-02-15 22:39

Ola Luis,

I had the same thought as Murat. The whitewashed buildings remind me of Greece or southern Turkey around Bodrum where nearly all the holiday homes are white. The red tiles contrast well against the blue sky. Tfs!

Silvio1953 (189235) 2018-02-16 2:15

Ciao Luis, great view of lovely place, beautiful geometry, fine details, excellent clarity, splendid light and wonderful colors, very well done, my friend, have a good weekend ciao Silvio

gervaso (27055) 2018-02-16 2:25

Olá, Luís!

Uma vista diferente dessa casa estranha mas bonita, incluindo a piscina na frente, que funciona como um perfeito espelho. Os detalhes das espécies de torres lá em cima (ou alienígenas, como nas fotos do jmdias) ficaram muito bons, ganhando destaque pela posiçăo e pelo contraste que fazem com o céu. Belo trabalho!

Nicou (186620) 2018-02-16 2:28

Hello

adramad (62022) 2018-02-16 9:05

Hola Luis.
Una magnífica composicion, con esta construccion tan original y extrańa, gran variedad de formas y volumenes.
Magnífica gestión de la luminosidad y de la nitidez.
Bien visto y realizado. Me gusta.
Que tengas un buen dia.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

abmdsudi (80732) 2018-02-16 20:47

Hi Luis
A bright and crisp building with good point of focus, detail, and the contrast really shows off the structure well. Simple intriguing capture.
Best wishes

Cricri (176) 2018-02-16 22:57

Hola Luis
Un style d'architecture particuličre de ce bâtiment blanc avec les petites fenętres différentes, intéressant la couleur des pavés faisant un fort contraste avec le blanc, joli reflets dans le point d'eau
Bonne journée

Hello Luis
Fascinating architecture of this white fairy-tale castle with the shape of an huge wedding cake.
Interesting story about the genesis of this amazing building.
Have a good weekend, groet Rob

ricardomattos (12029) 2018-02-17 7:09

Oi Luis

Interessante esta profusăo de janelas e este jeito de castelo todo branco. Muito curiosa mesmo esta arquitetura. Muito boa foto!

Parabéns

Ricardo

boa (8039) 2018-02-18 12:53

Hi Luis,
a crazy house in a nice way! I love it and it definitively remind us of Gaudi as mentioned before! A sharp and clear shot with an interesting note, tfs!

Have a nice evening/
Boa

clic (22660) 2018-02-19 8:49

Oi Luis The white coating on this vintage building gives it some airs of an ice castle, as the one built in Québec city at the beginning of the new year for touristic business. Fortunayely the elegant architectural details of yours will not melt at springtine!! Abraços

lucasgalodoido (26028) 2018-02-19 15:16

Olá Luis,
curiosa essa arquitetura mesmo, e o contraste com esse piso vermelho ficou interessante, uma pena a bla quadrada năo ter funcionando a contento na hora.
Parabéns e Abraço,
Lucas

jmdias (90478) 2018-02-20 0:35

luis

visitei essa casa por dentro e assisti o pôr do sol também.o estilo da casa lembra muito as casas gregas e as construçőes de barro africanas.é de fato uma construçăo que chama a atençăo.
bom ângulo com a piscina em evidęncia.

abraços

jorge

josepmarin (59383) 2018-02-20 3:09

Olá Luis Gustavo,
desde luego esta arquitectura tan especial y curiosa no deja indiferente, es ecléctica, destaca por su blancura y sus formas tiene un alto poder de atracción visual.
Tu encuadre nos permite ver todos los detalles y el buen efecto gráfico creado por la geometría de fachadas y ventanas.
Bien realizada.
Um abraço,
Josep

mkamionka (52450) 2018-02-20 13:34

Hi Luis,
from this angle the architecture make yet again a very different impression.
Very interesting place.
Although I had the pleasure to visit Montevideo, I still feel like I know nothing about Uruguay at all.
Great reportage!!

PaulVDV (48488) 2018-02-24 7:36

Hello Luis,
A very remarkable and charming architecture that has according to my humble opinion undergone Mediterranean influences.
The water with the reflections and the seating area to the right of it supposedly attract romantic souls.
The red floor tiles go well with the whitewashed facades.
Best regards, Paul

pierrefonds (92311) 2018-02-26 15:15

Hi Luis,

The tree is helping to frame the building. The point of view is showing the details of the building. A good managemrnt of the strong light which does not hurt the output of the colors. Have a nice day.

Pierre

macjake (91737) 2018-03-02 16:20

Hi Luis
such strange architecture. looks like something out of a hollywood movie set. I still havn't made up my mind if I love it or hate it :) One thing I know is that I appreciate it. nice to have the splash of reds to contrast the whites. cool shot.
cheers
Craig

maloutim (12947) 2018-03-29 23:05
