Part of a special section on Uruguayan architect Julio Vilamajó. Vilamajó's 1927 design of the Los Claveles (Carnations) house for Felipe Yriart in Montevideo is examined. The house centers on a patio. A short lateral portico with columns extends into the house to divide it into a public area and a smaller service area. The hinge between these portions is an atrium, which serves as a spatial counterpoint to the patio and is dominated by a staircase. Interiors that are rich in decorations and friezes respond to a clear desire for representation, in contrast to the rational organization of spaces and containers in the service area. From database.

Abstract
Part of a special section on Uruguayan architect Julio Vilamajó. Vilamajó's 1927 design of the Los Claveles (Carnations) house for Felipe Yriart in Montevideo is examined. The house centers on a patio. A short lateral portico with columns extends into the house to divide it into a public area and a smaller service area. The hinge between these portions is an atrium, which serves as a spatial counterpoint to the patio and is dominated by a staircase. Interiors that are rich in decorations and friezes respond to a clear desire for representation, in contrast to the rational organization of spaces and containers in the service area. From database.
