Ponce de León has been involved since the beginning of his work, both under his former and current practice. Houses have been designed and constructed simultaneously to the rest of the projects which Arch. Ponce de León has designed, or co-designed with Arch. Pozzi. Locations such as Carrasco (one of Montevideo’s most exclusive residential neighborhoods) and Punta del Este, the main ocean resort in Uruguay, host some of Arch. Ponce de León’s designs.

LAGUNA DEL SAUCE HOUSE1999

Laguna del Sauce is located very near Punta del Este, Maldonado, Uruguay. This private house, located in a plot of 7 hectares, was remodeled and enlarged for an Uruguayan family.

It combines de use of local materials with extremely contextual design. The project demonstrates how contemporary interventions can enhance the old by relying on sensitive juxtaposition rather than competition. The use of “quincho roof” as well as site stones and ^VVK��NP]LZ�[OL�KPɈLYLU[�I\PSKPUNZ�H�WHY[PJ\SHY�ZOHWL�Z\YYV\UKLK�I`�UH[\YHS�MVYLZ[Z��;OL�integration of the house and the bungalow to the site was a priority for the architects in order to preserve the existing trees and their roots.

Large glazed surfaces allow for views towards the laguna and the neighboring forest, and give the volumes a real sense of transparency and communion with nature.


Open verandahs around the main house and bungalow pavilion, provides an extension of interior living areas.

The design includes the following ecological principles: Minimizing non-renewable resource consumption; Enhacing the natural environment and Eliminating or minimizing the use of toxins. The “iconic” sinuous design that was proposed for this new TCS Campus is a new demonstration project for energy-conscious practices, calling for a 20 percent of the energy to come from renewable sources.
